I've read about and loved the sound of the xr6 for a long time now !...
The only thing that compares in a scimilar price bracket is the 6.0l commodore, but this is quite a bit more thirsty than the I6 engined xr6
A friend is currently living in australia and is fortunate enough to have been out in an xr6. He said that it was an awsome machiene !, smooth and powerfull with a nice exhaust note. Very well equiped too
I like the idea of importing one as it's a little different from the norm !
