I used to own a BMW 5 series, I also just recently test drove a 300kw HSV coupe and was supprised with how well it stopped, acceleration, handling and the comfort levels. I would personally choose a HSV over the current BMW M5 or E55 any day, as the car has'nt been infested with electronics and still remains a drivers car. I presently drive a 2003 model SL55, now thats a car Holden should aspire to build to. Superb chassis, silken gem of an engine, rampant acceleration and its also a hard top convertable. It is the most pleasant car i have ever driven.
Did he own a 3 series or 5 series? Compare the text of his review to "previous car owned".
3 series to SL55? Talk about an upgrade (especially if he traded up from 318i)
318i - 0-100 in circa 12 seconds (auto), $50K Aus.
SL55 - 0-100 in circa 4.6 seconds, $350K Aus.
