If one of these drove past me, it wouldn't garner a second glance as it looks like any other basterdized '90's car owned by a high schooler so Meh.

That said, being this come from the frickin' factory like this, that's just pathetic.

Uncool.
It's like the Australian version of this:
chevrolet-monte-carlo-ss-dale-earnhardt-edition.1592x1132.Feb-19-2012_15.01.45.640577.jpg

The "race inspired", "special edition" driven exclusively by old, bald men.
My aunt is neither bald nor a dude.

She is old, though.
 
Luckily, HSV learned their lesson and never made another hideous performance sedan that looks like they ordered the parts out of a a JC Whitney catalog.





Oh...

At least the GTS-R legitimately takes after the racecar and spins the same set of wheels, instead of being a Buick/Grand Prix cosplaying as a NASCAR.
 
Lol, that wing.

Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised if the pictures with that wing showed up in the Questionable Modifications thread; except the sad thing is this wing wasn't "modified"...
 
Smells ricey. Not to mention being a factory made rice car. I bet someone who bought this will just rice it even further.

Uncool.

To be fair on it, it was too rare and too expensive for the usual bogan ricer to afford and as it stands now the ones that have gone up on auction stands have fetched at least that asking price.

Doesn't stop the owners of standard VS Commodores making mock-ups of this even if they don't go the full spoiler and yellow paint.
 
I don't mind the car specs, and it looks cool with that yellow and black. It's just..
It's just...
That spoiler...
Low cool
 
No. Just no.

Instant uncool for having all the standard ricer clichés attached to a boring sedan car… and then those three spoke wheels. No.
