@ 122, maybe. But still, when people see this car and it's name. They will think of the Audi.

car.fan needs to check his facts! HSV have been using the R8 nameplate since June 1999 on a performance sedan called the ClubSport. The link http://www.pressportal.com.au/news/306/ARTICLE/2185/2007-10-11.html shows just how long this performance brand has been making world beating, Aussie performance machines.

I like those Holden special vehicles. And the names are clear for australia. Older Holden had equal names to european or american cars: Commodore for example or Clubsport, GTS, GTO I think, that has to be accepted
