Thats a pretty good deal for a Holden. I find all new cars now have to offer "something" to stay competitive. Just bluetooth alone I dont reaaaaaaally think is that big a deal.

How many cars have xenons that look around the corner, whilst offering things like park assist, DSG, Recaros, etc all in a German made car for less than $70K and doesnt guzzle petrol and no cabbies drive them?!

I bought a 2002 Holden SS ute and could never bring myself to buy another one.

When nearly 8/10 people I spoke to had engine/gearbox problems with the LS motors back then, and a massive amount of the UTE's sold then were lemons from the factory.

Even the NRMA guy who rescued me when my brakes failed, shared his story of buying a clubsport, brand new same year as me, and had his engine replaced at 18000km's.

(As for the brakes on my car, about 800kms into owning it, my brakes failed and I sailed through a set of red lights after driving at a top speed of about 60km/h, I tried to pull up and nothing - 60 kay never felt so fast!! Blowing all the brake lines at the front and pissing brake fluid all over the paint work and front guard - on top of the engine issues, gearbox issues and interior falling apart {the door lock ripped off the day I bought it} - did i mention the piss poor gaps on the doors?),

Oh and mine nearly fell apart at 1200kms.. I sold it and bought a BMW I was that pissed.

But thats just my view and my experience is a while ago now, maybe they make a great car now.

But I dont compare a commy to a VW for gadgets, I personally dont care if they have 8000KW's, which Ironically, even though back in the day, they would have a 300kw coupe and still get smashed but a 220kw M3.. blame the weight ?? yeah right..

End rant.

Sorry dude I am no longer holden fan and its going to take more than bluetooth to sway me..
