Default Commodore VE



One of the guys on the Commodore Forum said he photoshop'd the picture. So could be the closest pic to the new model or a load of C r a p.

The front of the VE will be similar to the Torana concept.

Isn't the VE going to have the 3.6lt V6 and the new 6L V8?

Your closer to the truth then you realise. Some aspects of VE's styling is similar to the 380.

i thought the point of the torana was to show the styling highlights of what the VE will look like. To be honest i think it was pure horn. You can see it even through the camo gear on the real VE

i'm predicting the next commadore to be a nice looker with huge chassis refinement . and engine torque improvements . but heavier . closer to falcon. but it will be a surprise to see what the interior will look like . maybe they might leap 2 decades and have i nice interior.

You mean the end of the "swamp thing" green backlit instruments? Oh say it isn't so.

The picture looks nice, but then again, look at the rims they are like 22" or something, and the fact of the matter is that you are gonna have factory 15" or 16" wheels with plastic wheel covers on them. Also, the car aint gonna be lowered to the deck either in executive and other non sporty models. I think that's what others mean when they say their not inspired by the design.

Easy..its a very generic GM design..nothing unique about it.

Just my little opinion though

I like the look of that green one, I'm a Ford man through and through, but I'm not going to sit here and say it look's crap just because it's a Holden, we must realise that in the past Holen has made some HP vehicle's that the general public have liked, they are the one's that really have led in this area, I believe the VE will be something to recken with.

The guy obviously worked hard on the white holden pic, so first of all well done to him/her...

Why does it look like it's been hit by something big and heavy? Is it just me?

You guys are all wrong, the white one has an east west engine in it. Shocking indeed especially with the xa scoops in the squished down bonnet. And those headlights make it look like a pug dog.

Yeah, all the photo's I've seen of it look dog ugly. Because the size of the car is shrinking and the wheelbase is getting longer, it gives a very pug-nose look...

Anyhow, wait and see I guess...
