Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • The V8 commodore replacement

    The KIA Stinger its a V6 twin turbo but covers the same Ground in the same time extreamly fast
    and has a 7 year warranty
    Tested: the Korean car that wants to take on Holden Commodore V8 buyers

    By all accounts an impressive vehicle, particularly given it's a first crack and the relatively benign history of Kia to date.

    I can't see it appealing to SS/XR8 buyers who will either keep rolling with their existing rides long term, or take the compromises inherent in the replacements - two doors and in the case of the Camaro, price (aiming for $90k with a mid-level spec). A lot of these buyers have probably bought the last of breed from the Australian factories, and a lot will have the cash to take their two-door V8 and use the SUV for passengers.

    For the four and six crowd however it is a game changer - your SV6/XR6 crowd, and potentially some of the 6/Liberty buyers who are keen on the performance. It's a reasonable looker, tough from some angles, a little odd from others but overall I don't mind it and it's nice to see they've brought the interior up to speed.

    Dare I say even that yellow car with a drop, the optional exhaust and some decent wheels would look pretty nice.

    And the 7 year warranty will be a good drawcard over the opposition as well.
