VE Commodore?

Its younger Brother Perhaps??

It aint a bad thing though, I like Sp 20's... My mate has one, and I do like the look of the above (albeait guessed) VE. I thought that they'd go for sharp edged VZ type headlights, it will be refreshing if they don't.

Anyways, Whaddya think?

i thaught the exact same thing. mazda. its the front bumper

If you had a read today about the VE you would have read the interior size is pretty much unchanged.
Take a close look at the rear of a VZ not much of a boot there.

This is the saturn aura, the car that chop was based on

Bucket · 25-05-2006, 12:00 PM

I dont think its that fat off Par

blackahcdx · 25-05-2006, 03:15 PM

Thats a sports model Aura

here is a plain jane one

that sporty front bar and wheels make a big differnece

The Stylist · 25-05-2006, 03:55 PM

Not sure what the point of that chop is? - it's not really close and the use of the Saturn Aura as a base doesn't really help either.

blackahcdx · 25-05-2006, 09:25 PM

the point of the chop was to show what is could look like, ie flared wheel arches, shape of the glass house, strong crease line down the side of the car ect ect

Full Spectrum · 25-05-2006, 09:44 PM

I wonder if the Saturn is based on the vectra.

At any rate I believe the VE will be a good seller, regardless of what people think of the car. Hopefully all the goodies they shove into it will prompt Ford to offer more in their cars, as well as prompt them to build even better cars. In these ways, competition is healthy for us; The customers.

Full Spectrum · 26-05-2006, 12:13 PM

The BA coming along was the best thing for our car industry, It made holden jump up and think more about what to offer and how to do it.

I saw a VE on Latrobe Terrace in Geelong today. Side profile is awful. Not sure about front or back as they were covered but the front will probably look nearly the same as VZ anyway.

blackahcdx · 27-05-2006, 10:39 AM

what about the side profile didn't u like?

HLC · 27-05-2006, 10:48 AM

yuck.

Probably just the doors I guess, just don't like the curve of them. And that crappy fake vent is the guard is just ghey.

Ultimate · 27-05-2006, 03:34 PM

God Enough with the ve threads. Oh kenny you sure its not a ba.

Pearly · 28-05-2006, 04:05 PM

Spotted this one yesterday in Ringwood.
I tried to get as clear a shot as possible of the interior.

MethodX · 28-05-2006, 04:09 PM

Finally some interior shots.
Looks ok.
What model do you think that is?

CSV_LS1 · 28-05-2006, 04:15 PM

Hmm that centre console is looks very cheap. Like a korean car. The pics of the calais interior previously looked alot better so maybe that cheap finish is only on the base model.

sfr rob · 28-05-2006, 04:38 PM

pearly.. why didnt you peel off the rear and front covers.. and get the FIRST REAL photos.. i would have!

oh, and that interior looks VERY 1995... very cheap and tacky if you ask me!

Fab · 28-05-2006, 04:43 PM

Nice interior.
Very Mercedes-Benz.

exactly my thoughts.

Smoke Pursuit · 28-05-2006, 05:27 PM

Id say thats Berlina or Calais, doesnt look like leather so probarly a Berlina.

Looks very BMW ish inside!

Bossxr8 · 28-05-2006, 05:27 PM

Window buttons in the centre console, when will they learn. The shifter looks like a computer mouse.

FPV · 28-05-2006, 06:00 PM

It can't be a base model. It has an LCD screen and wood trim. Possibly berlina. So far i don't think it will be leaps and bounds ahead of the BF interior, transmission surround shows no sequential shifter so i guess they will stick with the button shifter, but it looks old without a sequential shifter. The interior looks like it will carry DNA from the Captiva. After seeing these pictures i dont think Ford have much to worry about.

sfr rob · 28-05-2006, 07:25 PM

going by the woodgrain and the big center screen thing, i would also say this is a car in the fairmont, not fairmont ghia class... if you can make the comparrison between the 2 brands of vehicle.

Do you think they will keep the same names, ie, berlina, statesman etc?

sfr rob · 28-05-2006, 07:27 PM

oh, and it looks like dual climate control under the screen there.

LethalLeigh · 28-05-2006, 08:40 PM

Centre console stack vaguely reminds me of the new Volvo S40. Not a big fan, but then I don't much like the quality of the BA/BF interior plastics either.

Ryan · 28-05-2006, 10:06 PM

Hmmmm the interior isnt too bad, but I must say, that Auto shifter looks shocking.

Then again, so does the series 1 VL Auto shifter, so meh.
