that looks awesome...

IMO the VE is a pretty good looking car (let down by the looks of the entry level models), and its taken me a little to get used to them...

unfortunatley, holden seems to have bastardised the front........perhaps to keep with its current (daewoo) corporate styling

the ponti looks way better... if i had a VE i'd be trying to bring in the front from one of those

dosnt look as good as the H. monaro wich looked better than the P. GTO wich looked better than the H. VE.

so its at the bottom of the cesspool, dosnt look that bad though.

if i was in the states with a wad of cash and a couple of offspring to cart about i guess its a possiblility.

Safety thing,since about 1968 i think.Just like australians have to cut a hole in the fender to put a side indicator on ,looks garbage,At least american cars dont have that feature.

Much better than the VE's here. The styling seems more balanced, the Aussie VE just doesn't look right.
