Looks terrible how they curved it down towards the end.

Not meant to be on wagons.

Add a set of 22's, lowered a couple inches and some 2 toned dark colored paint would make that thing a seriously cool car, I like them!

Bloody Hell. My wife likes them. She says it looks somewhere between a BMW and 300C.
I dont see it but the Sports Wagon version does look the goods.

I thought the XD-F and EF-L wagons looked fine.
Actually, I'm a big fan of the XF wagons...we had one for 13 years. Great workhorse.

Admittedly, the in-the-flesh white wagon pic of the VE looks pretty bloody plain. The sportswagon looks great.

I do agree that fleet sales may not warm to the Commodore because the boot looks exceptionally shallow.

The rounded look of wagon bums must be coming in.... the chrysler 300 looks very similar.

If it's a hot Ford family vehicle you're after, get yourself a Turbo or FPV Territory. Awesome!

For what it's worth, I'm not a big fan of the sloping rear roofline either. It looks too much like a 300C.

terrys look a bit clumsy to me... these wagons looks real sleek in my opinion.
Will Holden release a hotty wagon or not?

Black manual 6.0 wagon would be the only thing to pull me away from the Oval.
They look hot IMO.

Yeah, another example of Holden copying. Sure, it looks alright (prefer the Liberty though), but the C pillar looks clunky and the taillights crap. All I'm saying is that Holden needs some individuality in their styling IMO.
