Whilst the itch needs to be scratched dropping back to Holden from FPV is a step backwards in terms of status, just get a Jag and be done with it. The VF is a step forward in terms of what can be had in a car I dont think you will be truly happy after the initial new car feeling wears off. The interior is not as great as ost would have you believe. The back of the VF is a sea of cheap black plastics, same goes for the door jambs. Its not as hard wearing as the FG. It all looks very nice but thats where it stops. FG is dated now in comparison but not in actually quality. FG1 to FG2 there were quite a few interior parts that were changed for better quality.
As much as I would like to say wait for the XR8 but I dont think that will work for you either. It will be lacking in Tech, not much of an upgrade, will have the same engine and wont be priced right in NZ. Get the Jag.

Happy to tune with the Walkingshaw 310 driveline warranty, they've been around for a while so should be all good. XFR has been around for a long time now and is starting to date IMO although still a very capable, good looking and highly desireable car. If I scratch the itch and do a really good job of it as you're suggesting I'm more inclined this way to be honest. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=698981023
You could well be right, do the job properly, you only live once.
