Its not all bad though you pay $70,000aus for a holden clubsport R8 and we pay £50,000gbp for the same thing badged as a vauxhall VXR8, not half price but still a 10% saving in OZ, though its still expensive compared to the American rebadge, the pontiac G8 GXP at $41,000usd.

Don't forget the combination of low octane petrol and Californian emission regulations mean that American engines produce less power than they do elsewhere, so they may be grinning more when they go to the bank, but you'll have a bigger smile on your face when you put your foot down, the clubsport R8 and the VXR8 have 425hp while the G8 GXP only makes 402hp
