A ‘SERIES TWO’ of any car can go one of two ways, either living in the shadow of its predecessor if the car company gets it wrong or casting its own shadow if the manufacturer gets it right. On first impression, HSV’s E Series 2 at least rises above its predecessor. Across the board, E Series 2 gets clever new driver aids and a more evolved styling separation from Commodore, while the GTS has been restored to its position as the performance king of the range.
