Holden are moving into that sports lifestyle market with who as competition? Ford are consolidating in the tradesman market and have heavy competition with Toyota, Nissan and Holdens Rodeo. Long term the Holden one looks better IF there is a lifestyle (take the mountain bikes, trail bikes, surfboards, etc out for a weekend blast) market.

And just to add another "chop" to the fire.

at least the ute wont rust its made of plastic

may get slammed for this, but i really like the VE series. the Omega looks a bit missing, but the rest of the series i like. Wouldnt be surprised to start seeing new fords starting looking similar, such as all new cars sit so high in the a$$ end...

I do not like the Maloo.

The wagon looks excellent on the side. A nice modern look as both current Falcon and Commodore wagons are seriously dated.

The back doesn't appeal to me, but the shape, as well as the use of windows is excellent.

I hope Ford can raise the bar further. A decent task too

I'd assume that those chops are close to the real things, especially the wagon, however that Maloo looks like a complete mess.

Wow that wagon is sex on wheels! That is all.

I can also see a HSV wagon in the furture.

Methinks that the wagon (if it looks like that) will sell like hotcakes...hopefully the Orion will have some goods...Also the VE wagon like one of those girls you see with a nice body, but they turn around and you sorta wished they diddn't...

Had these send to me, I don't like the look of the Maloo ute in these pics.

Almost all of those are Gearys chops (hes a member here), he has done many of both Orion and VE over the last few years, very talented for a 16 year old and much of his work ends up published. He also seems to have good sources often, his VE chop was pretty much on the money. My Avatar is his Orion chop and its known to be pretty close (we have seen real shots which confirm it). See the yellow 2008 Orion chop on his site, his front bar is 100% correct. Also see his new Orion wagon chop on his site also.

Good place to place comments on his work.

I still hate the VE HSV front end, it's just too busy.
The wagon looks too 300c for me, i'm not a fan either. Give me a VE SS-V sedan any day of the week.
