I'm thinking of buying a Ford F-150 harley Davidson edition.
We are not so big on American cars over here in the Netherlands but that truck hauls ass man...



I have an F250. That Harley edition cost some coin. Does it have a modified 5.4 litre in it?

Like I said I like Holdens and think they are great but I just cannot accept the modern day GTO, it's just against everything I stand for and I hate when cars have absolutely no originality other then the badging. The new top model G8 will also be a Holden (the Commodore) whic hI am not happy about but don't mind as much since it's techincally a new model from Pontiac and not a fake as remake of a ledgendary car.

I think at one point GM was thinking of the new GTO being a new platform from the ground up but decided to go the cheaper route and re-badge the Holden.

I beleive it was a bandaid for the Pontiac brand, I think they do have a new RWD platform for the next GTO, if they build it. Because they have to get the platform ready for the new Camaro. IF they have a new GTO, supposedly it have to share it's platform with Buick and Buick doesn't want a RWD platform, as they are trying to mimic Lexus (read an American Lexus--when Lexus stands for Luxury EXport United States).

One thing for sure is American car makers better get their heads out of their collectives asses.

it's supercharged from the factory,not as much power as the lightning but still enough to get you in trouble

 I could get in trouble in a Gremlin.  :-\   I had a chevette when I was 16 and literally busted the shifter off of the top of the transmission practicing power shifting.  ;D  I then removed the console and there was about 3 inches of the shifter rod sticking through the floor...I wrapped a shop rag around it and drove it like that for a long time.

Their new platforms at least for all performance models in the near future are basically all re badged Holdens. Both the G8 and G6 are basically the Holden HSV and Holden Commodore. The new top of the line G6 looks pretty cool.

It's fast enough for me and you can take some passengers too....that would be my second reason why i'd choose the Harley over the lightning..
