Nappa - where are your pics?!
I think it looks quite good. Glad Holden have moved towards the European look. I think the Caprice will look alot like the A6 - good work! Hope this makes Ford more aware of their LWB models and maybe make them at least look different to the SWB models. I still think Ford have the sophistication, and Holden have the style and performance... but that might soon change. Rivalry is always good to have... I guess this means the next model Falcon will have something to set it's benchmark at... and hopefully aim higher!

WHOA! That looks bloody unreal! That front flaired guard looks very much like an M5 - with the air vent.
The looks good also - very hatch like though! Door handles also look much better then the VY/BA handles....

Looks alot better then the computer generated images in the SMH.
Those vents you speak of, aren't they on the VZ SS's already? I know they are on the VZ HSV's. Whats the red light just near the zorst? Wierd placed brake light? I wanna see the interior. Be cool if it ended up like the concept SSX.

Does anyone know when it's due to be released?? MOTOR were saying a few months back it will be released in june or july?
It should be soon, now that they have the test cars completely built and being driven.

Front guards look very M5, middle section looks a bit like a Mazda 6, overall look alot nicer than the computer generated stuff they had previously shown.
I'll wait till i actually get to see one in the flesh but so for looks quite good, a set of 19's or 20's will look great behind those pumped guards. Be interisting to see how it turns out. |

It was meant to be released in late August early September. Then Holden brought it forward six months.They were going to strugle to meet the new deadline and was pushed back to its original date.
