That makes E85 cars 7% more expensive to operate each & every time you go to the petrol station...

Who in there right mind would be this??? Also add to that, you can only get it in 3L engines & you're already drinking more than a falcon in the real world, add 7% for E85 & you have a very expensive & gut less car to drive!!!

Con, con, con, con…. But watch Holden marketing at work & all the donkies that will buy this crap!!
UM, it's not all about cost, I would run it on it for sure, more power and greener!

Touch screen sat nav is awesome and made by the same Company as VW's Sat nav system which is one of the best in the biz, however holdens top it with standard reversing camera, premium bluetooth and live traffic updates... well done!
