The one at the back is the Holden VF commodore SSV redline and the one in front is the HSV GTSR

Yep, they are both openable, including the boot lid.

Kind of but not really. After they stop making the commodore in 2017, all holden got was gm rubbish from gm korea. I never owned a holden but have driven them from rentals and the quality is ok but not good. Even the Kia's have a better quality. I have friends who had owned Holdens and said never again especially the after sales service was appalling. Not to mention Holden thinks the Australian public are gullible enough to buy any rubbish as long as they put a Holden badge on it and say its Australian made. GMH have themselves to blame for their demise.

Picked up a Norev 2.7 Carrera RS Touring in 1/18. By no means a high-end model and it's also sealed, but for the price I like it a lot.

I was going to say the same thing, Minichamps is the best of all, but much harder to find than the Autoarts, in fact the only Minichamps I see on Ebay is over $1,000 USD! I replaced my Autoart with a Minichamps as soon as I found one for sale.

Although, this Norev is the Touring version of the 2.7 RS and the Minichamps/ Autoart models are the Lightweight versions with different bumpers, sideskirts and interior. As far as I am aware Norev is the only company to make the 2.7 Touring in 1/18 scale.

Side by side of the real cars. I'll take pictures of the models side by side as well, soon.
