Sounds like you'll be cramped in ethier! I found the SV6's seating position to be a bit off-centre & the seats uncomfortable as hell..... Id suggest a drive in a SV6 to confirm. Also try an auto VR-X, im not normally in the habit of recommending autos to anyone but its the best one ive used to date ( no, I havent driven a ZF 6speed auto yet) http://autospeed.drive.com.au/A_0660/cms/article.html thats the Autospeed review from 2000 when the TJ was new. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The thing that turns me off the most about new Holdens is their resale value, or lack of! A VE Commodore in the next 3-4 years would be valued at 60% of the new price from the dealers. It was on the news the other night, but other then that the SV6 looks nice especially in that metallic blue colour. They look better then XR6's anyway. They look a little bland and boring.
