I reckon its ugly as sin. No colour combo could make that idea look good (these ARE the best combos).
Monaros look nice, but the HSVs are just garbage. |

It looks crap. Sorry, but HSV are losing the plot atm wrt the Coupe. I hate the scoops, full stop. Monaro would look so much better with a milder BA style cowl in place of scoops.

the stripes just dont work, the colour combos are fine but the stripes just look out of place and wrong.
maybe if they went over the roof, but like that it just looks like they are trying to hard to be different

I like the black one and agree that they need to go over the roof as well.

yuck. I dont like at all. If they were going to do stripes, at least continue them all the way along. And as for that VT rear end?? hellow.... that was soo 1998.

I like it except that I reckon the black one should have white striped. Would look so much better.

I've never been a big fan of the nostrils, but I like stripes.
Why couldn't they return on an off-centre strip like the... HK (I think) Munro? I saw a Munro yesterday in fact (rare in Scotland). It wasn't a Vauxhall VXR either, unless they went to all the trouble of debadging, rebadging and changing the whole rear bar. The first V8 I've heard in quite a few months... But then again, I get to hear quite a few Astons screaming past. The cars (above) look good, the stripes however, do not. |

On the black GTO does the wheel colour match the colour of the stripes?

Looks good, would look even better on the roof but beggers can't be choosers.
Afterall. GT stripes would look better down the middle of the car and on the roof wouldn't they? |

I have to say that I like them, I do agree about the stripes going down the roof though, looks like they forgot something. I am also going to go against the grain and say I prefer the yellow, but then again look at what I drive!

The black monaro looks good with the front stipe but get rid of the stipe on the back end, looks crap. Good colour combo on the black one as the beige stripes suit it really well.
The yellow one.... no way doesn't suit...leave the yellow on it own as it already stands out! And man when are they ever gonna learn you got to upgrade your models to keep up in time cause that VT look was so last century...lol!
