The Vauxhall is a re-badged Australian HSV GTS.

Thanks for posting that. You have to dig a bit to get to the meat of the review.
Time to replace the C55 perhaps.....

The interesting (weird) thing is that in the UK there is only a few thousand pound (base model) price difference where as in Australia the C63 is roughly double the price of the HSV.

It goes to show how much Aussies are being ripped off by gov't duties.

It looks like the sedans are heading out to the reviewers now. Different car to the other comparo.
