Using a fluid with metallic flakes in it and an electric current flowing through it, the MRC system can almost instantly adjust the stiffness of the suspension to maximise cornering grip and poise and improve handling."
the New TT has that

its funny, the first batch of HSV VXR's came with Opel badges and OPC decals in the interior, and the following ones now all have VXR throughout.

When I was in Australia I used to love the Commodores, especially the Sports Edition (can't remember the model but it was dark orange/rust). Awesome cars.
Always knew Holden were the Aussie equivalent of Vauxhall/Opel but the cars they build Down Under are far superior to the ones in Europe.
