Holdens E85 Sportwagon concept stars in Sydney

Is this the surprise star of the show? It didn’t matter when I came back to Holden’s Sportwagon display it was always a hive of activity - seemingly more photographed than the HSV Maloo. HSV have been counting down to the Sydney Motorshow with the promise of a very special 20th Anniversary unveiling. I think they were comprehensively upstaged by a station-wagon… But then their “Show special” was hardly worth a countdown. More on that next…

Holden’s Sportwagon is a production ready concept that has a 6.0-litre V8 developed to run on E85 unleaded/ethanol blend. A first for a Holden V8 and a step in the right direction. Quite possibly the World’s most beautiful station wagon?

What a joke the countdown was…
I have been a very proud supporter of the HSV company until today! Someone needs to shake-up their marketing department.

However; what an impressive wagon, might i say it might just be on my shopping list in 2008.

Yes it was a disappointment. I missed the unveiling and walked past the 20th Anniversary R8 a few times before I noticed the sign. This is the 20th Anniversary prototype!!!! Someone at HSV has a warped sense of humour.
The Holden Sportswagon on the other hand was all class.

May I remind you that apart from their unique colours the 10th and 15th Anniversary models didn’t really have any extra special features.

The only real differences I can see with the 20th Anniversary Clubbie is that it has a GTS Bodykit and Senator Interior.
