Better off dead and buried than tottering around in a wheelchair, or becoming a sellout like an old rockstar appearing in milk ads or something cheesy. I wonder if Elvis would have been as famous if he lived to a ripe old age.

At least the Falcon never sported FWD, V6 or the other 'grown up', 'sensible' things similar automakers in its class moved on to. Instead it sported a big turbo straight-six, supercharged v8, RWD.. things that made no sense or showed any maturity. That's what made Falcon the best : it was the stubborn kid that didn't want to grow up, and maybe that's why it had to be ended.

A girly FWD hatchback? Cause rumours are no Commodore sedan

I'm glad Falcon didn't stoop to that abomination.

There is already some info released on the HSV Forum and they are saying it’s basically HSV’s version of Holden’s Black Series on the base models with some cosmetic differences but no increase in power plus possible track versions.

GEN-F2 SV Black Limited Edition

I can’t really vouch for the accuracy of this info as there are some mixed messages around the Holden Forums.

Not smooth.

Since LSA, noone's bothering with LS3, not that before LSA there was all that much interest in LS3 anyway.

Save the sticker kit, just make them dirt cheap... they will be anyway after 3 months on the lot.

The Second from left nearly looks like a Clubman or something along those lines.

200% stiffer springs????
If that's correct I wouldn't want to drive one on anything but a track!
None of the so called upgrades would entice me to buy one, but I'm sure they'll sell regardless.

Quick sticker pack to reinvigorate some interest for the brand as they begin to wind down. Come October and Bathurst I believe Holden will drop some special commodores and cant be that long before HSV announce the rumoured GTS-R.

Most of the features come standard nowadays anyway.

When I bought my E3 Black Edition, it came with the Bi Modal exhaust, unique at the time forged 20 inch wheels which made it worthwhile in itself..

All details are released on their web page now.. www.hsv.com.au
They are just a way of getting rid of the old LS3s they have lying around.. Although sometimes it is these that are worth the bucks in the future as not everyone will buy one to put away, unlike a W427/GTSR etc.
Bring on a wild send off for the LSA (orLS9?) GTS and a yellow LS9 GTS-R!!!
