I wonder how much money Holden/GM have just ****ed away on engineering the Insignia to fit that V6 now.
No doubt Holden have probably copped a black eye from HQ for this now too, cause they were against it having a V6 too, they only wanted it to be available as a 4 cylinder, just like it is everywhere else it sells. Only Holden got the V6.
Holden execs probably made a business case of selling X amount of ZB's to justify the investment needed to engineer it for V6. Which has now massively blown up in their face.
There will be serious future product repercussions from this.

Actually, Buick got the V6 as well in their GS AWD model (equivalent to VXR)
