Nice new Holdens

[perry]

Just noticed the HSV GTS in Sting Red, and Clubsport in Herron White has been added to the list of models, along with the Brock VR, and the HYL car.

Do we have any idea how many of each will be produced?

With the two HSV coupes due for release tomorrow and a couple of the new ones due August, I can't see my bank account being able to manage them all within a month. I just hope that certain types out there don't buy them all up within a week so they can profit on those who can't afford them at this time.

I did a bit of searching through one of the Auction sites and found that one person has sold 2 red R8s since last December and has another up for auction at this time! No wonder they sold out within a week. How amny others have done the same?

Have also seen another person asking $500 for one in the Biante sell,swap,buy site. What a rip-off.

The new Holdens look good - I wonder if BIANTE are going to make a Phantom Black Clubsport? I think it would look better than the white one. They have the colour already on the GTS so why not make a clubsport in that colour?

Cheers.

Id rather see the black and red colours discontinued. If you put the clubsport and GTS together (same colours), whats the difference?? I mean, is it worth the $120 to get a car that essentually has very little difference??

Why not release some different colours, and forget about red and black?? Variety is the spice of life!

[the_goldie]

Perry, it's ok to release different colours but for those who don't have the other cars it would be good to get a black clubsport. There are small differences betweent the GTS and Clubsport - wheels, interior, badges and grille. But like I said if you didn't get the GTS the Clubsport would be nice in the Phantom Black.

The Clubsport would look good in the silver as well. Obviously you can't release every colour though.

Cheers.

Why not?? :-)

How about some new tooling and releasing the new range of VX HSV Clubsports. Released in Delft Blue, Hyper Yellow, Capricorn Green (I think that's the name)..... the list goes on!!!! HSV Grange in any colour, and what's happening with these Highway Patrol cars????? Surely some utes are in the pipeline.:confused:

p.s. I'm practising using html tags, so if it doesn't work......... shoot me!!!!!!

[the_goldie]

Perry - I wouldn't think there would be much of a demand for these cars. Does anyone collect these cars in every colour? But hey if BIANTE release them in every colour then cooooool.

:)

[perry]

If there isnt much demand, why release them in colours that have already been done?
I know they are different models, but from a metre away, only the rims are different.

The red GTS will most likely be the FIRST holden ive not purchased, which means my loyalty is waining. Along with the releases coming out in spurts, with periods of nothing in between, its making it very hard.
But, its not my business...

Glen, I am with you.
Let's see some VX Clubsports in different colours.
I would love to see a HSV Grange - Black. Although any colour will do.

While we are on the subject of HSV - The Maloo Ute would look great amoungst the other models.

Well - This is part of my wish list anyway.

I think that all you Holden Boy's have had your fair share of road going models now I think it as time for the real Aussie Muscle Cars to be done......... FORD FALCONS!!

Cheers

i couldnt agree with you more drof after having a look through the site i think late model holdens have had a fair crack at it wheres all the late model fords old falcons are good but its nice to have some new stuff in the collection

It all boils down to contracts and licences with Ford and Holden that take time, unless you want Biante to be like the rest and make them without the proper legal documentation. If so, you'll have to accept the poorer quality and less than accurate dimensions.

I'm sure the Car Manufacturers (Holden and Ford) must help out in some way to ensure the cars are true to scale, or if not, then Biante have some pretty SHARP design staff.

I would also prefer a VX clubby and GTS over different colour VT's. I love the VX lights at night on the HSV's.
I am a holden man, but also would like to see some current model fords done.
I want a SS commodore and XR8 falcon. They'ed be nice sitting next to each other.

Guess what guys, for the ford fans, this might interest you

The engineers from the factory and I will be at Ford next week, measuring, checking and photographing the 3 new road cars before final sign off on the tooling.
