2010 HSV E Series 2

Just when you thought you were finally getting over the fact that the Pontiac G8 will not be offered as a Chevrolet Caprice or as a Buick Grand National, Holden pops up with its new Commodore based Holden Special Vehicles E Series 2 lineup, which now has more options and upgraded design across the range.

What’s our favorite model? The new HSV GTS, which now carries an upgraded 435-hp LS3 V8 engine.

Holden is also offering a range of options under the SV Enhanced banner to further customize your HSV E2 Series. For example, those who go for the new six piston brake calliper option receive their SV Enhanced and GTS badges in yellow.

Brings back some great memories.
