Wish we had one of these kicking around here to drive.

They do indeed - but apparently they're also incredibly strict on speeding and all that down there. You'd probably be able to comment on that. Hope all is well 'down unda'!

People are blasting down the streets all the time. And the sound of aftermarket exhaust is everywhere. Didn't drive while in Australia and am in New Zealand at the moment. Picking up a car on Wednesday and driving around for the next month.

New ones can only be had in manual in the ATS-V and specced how I want it's a 95k CAD car with a tiny backseat (in the sedan, coupe is unusable). Previous generation I'd only buy a CTS-V SportWagon and those with Recaros and a manual are rare and ungodly expensive (average is $55-65k usd used). Plus, on a new car I get very good pricing and money towards a purchase from GM. Robert, did you buy a car down there? Old GTR? '92 Talon TSi AWD - 5 Speed/E16G/12.385s @ 115.13mph

Buying was definitely on the table but in the end, I decided that for the amount of driving I would do, it wouldn't be worth it. But there will be a lot of driving involved next time!
