A major motoring website has accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Fairfax Media’s Drive website has accidentally run HSV E2 advertisements ahead of the vehicle’s official September 9th launch.
While the accidental leak is unfortunate, it only confirms one thing – the images exclusively run by Pavle.com.au were spot on.

CarAdvice.com.au‘s Matt Brogan road tests the 2009 Mini Cooper S Chilli Cabrio.
“While money can’t buy you love, it certainly can buy you a whole lot of fun, and when it comes to the Mini Cabrio, less roof really does mean more woohoo!
The Mini Cooper S Cabrio Chilli, we’ve just tested sits just under the mighty John Cooper Works edition on the Mini Cabrio line-up, and on top of the Cooper, Cooper S and Cooper R52 models.
While it might carry a hefty price tag with our road test model optioned to just shy of $55,000, the amount of enjoyment squeezed in to this impressive little package is absolutely incontrovertible.”

With a great deal of Camaro development occurring in Australia, it may come as no surprise that countless prototypes have been caught testing around Holden’s Victoria homeground.
This time around though the photos consist of production ready convertible Camaros, ready to be shipped to the United States of America in left hand drive form.
Our photographers have caught a whole line-up of cars ready to be boxed up and shipped overseas featuring an array of soft top colours.

CarAdvice‘s Nadine Armstrong puts six light hatches against each other to sort the good from the bad. Photography by Pavle.com.au.
“Generally speaking, the word ‘light’ implies there’s something missing: less than the others; a lack thereof; insubstantial; skimping.
It rarely invokes a sense of excitement – light beer, for example. As far as the ‘light car’ segment goes, my expectations are immediately managed (down), and I’m ready to be underwhelmed.
Light cars do however have the edge over the heavy-hitting competition in one key area – size – and small proportions thereof.
While ‘small cars’ like the Holden Cruze may offer sharp pricing, impressive safety credentials and a great package, they are decidedly larger than their ankle-biting competition in the light car segment.”

UPDATED: 1:00PM, SUNDAY 9th AUGUST.
While its passenger car sibling Holden has announced the latest in fuel saving engines, its performance arm has been working on the latest iteration of its E-series range.
Pavle.com.au can tell you exclusively that HSV has employed a radical visual design to catch the attention of passing motorists, along with a bi-modal exhaust to deafen the said passing motorists.
LED driving lights appear to be standard across the range (and sit as a horizontal strip across the front bar. Pontiac styling cues ensue in the form of bonnet scoops (presumably non-functional) and a revision to the power outputs place the E2-series HSV comfortably back at the top of the power ladder.
Two engines will be on offer – a 317kW 6.2-litre LS3 V8, along with a 320kW 6.2-litre LS3 V8.

CarAdvice.com.au‘s Paul Maric road tests the latest BMW Z4 offering. Photos by Pavle.com.au.
“Second gear, 6000rpm heading toward the 7000rpm redline with the roof off, the noise is simply epic. A flick of the steering wheel paddles near-instantly activates third gear, emitting a Golf GTI like pop on the up-shift.
If you hadn’t picked it already, this is BMW’s all new Z4 and without a shadow of a doubt, it’s ferocious, menacing and borderline crazy at the limits. The noises, the smells and the attention it seeks leave you gagging for more.
Let’s go back to the beginning though, where the Z4 was simply a figment of the imagination of two BMW designers, Juliane Blasi (exterior designer) and Nadya Arnaout (interior designer).
The first thing you will notice is that they are both females, that’s got to say something about car design!
From whatever angle you catch a glimpse of the BMW Z4; it’s bound to stun you.”

Pavle.com.au photographers have taken exclusive spy photos of Ford’s latest Territory – the diesel.
“Our spy photographers have been at it again, this time around catching Ford testing the long awaited Ford Territory Diesel.
Although this pair of white Territorys look identical to most other Territorys on the road, it takes an eagle eye to spot the glaring differences.
If you have a look at the front end, the front-mount intercooler is visible, as is a side mounted radiator – which has had a fog light removed for extra breathing room.”

CarAdvice.com.au’s Matt Brogan road tests the latest from BMW, the 740i.
“For more than three decades now the 7 Series has set itself atop the BMW range as the German marque’s flagship model.
Today the fifth-generation 7 Series retains this illustrious position while at the same time continuing to prove itself as the benchmark car of its segment in terms of technical innovation, passenger comfort and driveline capability.
The model tested this week, the 740i, comes to us at an important juncture for in the 7 Series in Australia coinciding with the launch last week of the diesel variant, the 730d.”
