Then how did Audi get the rights to use R8, If my memory serves me right, wasn't there a legal dispuit a couple of months back about the use a letter abbrviation between two auto companies?

A Shame? They were butt ugly, and full of crap. Holden's latest wagon offering is impressive however.

Nice car, considering it's Australian. Likelyhood of a dog vomit-stained trunk = high. Likelyhood of kids getting school before anyone else = high. A lot cheaper than an RS6 Avant...if you can live without the image.

the R8 in the clubsport has been around since the VT series two, which was about 1999 i think when the new chevrolet engine came in, the Gen III. thought they were going to work on the rear lighting to match the rest of other models, looking different to the commodore, apparently not the best lighting i have seen is on this model, the due circle on the sedans are easy to pick out and same with the Maloo R8 (another model with that name on it) from the basic utes
