HSV is set to bring back a high performance Tourer wagon as part of its model expansion.

HSV Tourer wagon
HSV has confirmed it will reintroduce a high performance wagon called the HSV Tourer.

Similar in performance and specification to the HSV ClubSport R8, the HSV Tourer wagon will be based on the upcoming Commodore Sportwagon.

Not really a surprsing development from HSV, still should be good (if not uglier than the Holden version images/smilies/tongue.gif

)

Main points to note, LS3 317kw, RWD and wagon goodness

I've always liked wagons and it's good to see they're coming back and with some serious muscle. I hope this one makes its way over here like the GTO and G8.

I'm with ladyboy on this one.

Looks nice, exactly how I thought it would.

DTMracer · May 12th, 2008, 7:14 AM

Can I have one with a blown engine for an epic 1000hp family wagon?

watto · May 12th, 2008, 7:17 AM

Oh my zGod!

Want it. In black with tinted windows.

Wilkenshaw will do that for you images/smilies/wink.gif

Stage 2 supercharge kit and I quote from the site 'open to discussion' about more power

VillageIdiot · May 12th, 2008, 9:38 AM

Looks bitchin'.

Hidden_Hunter · May 12th, 2008, 9:48 AM

should round out the range with the 427 quite nicely

DTMracer · May 12th, 2008, 9:57 AM

I want mine with a massive hood scoop to house the supercharger.

Oh, and in flat black.

fbc · May 12th, 2008, 10:33 AM

Oh. Hell. Yes.

Do want.

bettar.

Gman333-X-ferrari · May 12th, 2008, 1:24 PM

What a sexy beast. DO WANT!

It low, aggressive, powerful, looks absolutely brilliant and has the perfect quantity of ostentation that no man can resist.

YF19pilot · May 12th, 2008, 3:35 PM

Man, it sucks that GM canned the G8 wagon. I would've put money down on one of those babies. Lucky Aussie bastards.

DTMracer · May 13th, 2008, 12:51 AM

Hey, but you guys get the Camaro and CTSV

Yeah, but I could probably actually afford a G8 GT wagon images/smilies/lol.gif

. Maybe GM North America will come around in a couple years, I'd really love one of those.

And I think they're thinking about releasing the Cadillac brand here, with the CTS (although I spose they'd have to make them in RHD first).

On the HSV wagon, meh, I don't really like HSV's, too boganish for me.

DTMracer · May 13th, 2008, 5:51 AM

FPV should definitely do a fast wagon. New falcon is so much better looking than the big, brash commodore.
