Nobody made this thread yet, so whatever.... Melbourne 2009: Limited edition HSV Senator unveiled by Alex Nunez on Feb 27th 2009 at 10:28AM In conjunction with the 2009 Melbourne Motor Show, HSV has announced the release of a special-edition Senator super-sedan. A less-expensive ( $69,990 AU about $44,600 USD) alternative to the pricier, more lavishly-equipped Senator Signature ($80,500 AU about $51,300 USD) that launched in 2006, the Senator will be limited to a total of just 89 cars. Thirty of these cars get manual transmissions; the rest will have automatics. While the new Senator makes do without features such as the Magnetic Ride Control suspension found on the Senator Signature, the important part the 6.2-liter LS3 V8 lump underhood remains. It's good for 317 kilowatts (425 horsepower) and 550 Nm (405 lb-ft) of torque, which should be more than enough juice to generate a cloud of tire smoke visible from the moon. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/27/melbourne-2009-limited-edition-hsv-senator-unveiled/
meh, I quite like the SE ones where the black on the side is even thicker than normal. I've seen a couple in real life without the trim, and without seeing the rear lights, the car totally blends into normal traffic
Yeah, but a giant pink flamingo on top of the car would also stop it blending into traffic, doesn't mean it's a good thing. And aren't the Senators supposed to blend into traffic, be subtle and understated and all that?
HSVs are never meant to be subtle? Thats why it has those tail lights, massive fender vents, 20" wheels, and the black strip. Senator meant to stick out like 'thats nice!' sort of way, while the clubby and gts stick out in a more 'whoah! what the shit?' sort of way
perception I guess. I know people who wouldnt look twice at any Aussie car. (<A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/amazed.gif"></A>)

All the Holdens posted in this thread have painted skirts.... Not unpainted. Which just makes them 2 tone, and 2 tone cars have been around forever.
There were cars painted with a single colour in those days too, does that mean ALL cars look like they're twenty years old?
Sorry fan boys but your pov edition Senator looks like shit with those skirts. whether you want to agree or not is a moot point.
yeah bro, a $70,000 car is pov.... and yeah bro, the reason we're disagreeing with you is because we're fanboys, not bcuz you're a friggin idiot. thats exactly it. UGH!
