The headlamp looks a bit like a blunt butterknife.

Saw this days ago. Didn't think it was worth posting. That rear/tail-light shot is a horrible enlargement from a NASCAR... and that headlight looks too much like a Subaru WRX.

Well, they most certainly weren't lying when they said it'd be suited to American tastes. Hopefully, VE's stance and proportions will make it look good. I'm seeing a lot of Epica in there which isn't good.

Taillights are Camaro-looking, which is good, it means the tail is ready for Chev badges.....

That back end pic looks aweful, it's all smashed up, looks like its a sticker from an actual NASCAR. As for the front it's looks a bit epica IMO
Projectors look good though. Will wait to see what the whole car looks like before hitting it with criticism.

wow...can tell so much from those pics.
Either way, it'll still outsell the Falcon regardless of what Ford fanboys say.

I reckon it's going to look like a Cruze had a one night stand with a Camaro.

Who cares if its more to Americans taste? If Australians dont like it, it will eventually die, and neither Australians or Americans will get it anymore...

Those are stickers....you can see the advertising down the side of the car.. Carpoint is trying to make it look like they have something when they have nothing...typical.

Looks like a still from a promo/advert showing the nascar peeling away to reveal the road car. You can see the silver body work and part of a realistic looking rear light.

That rear tail light shot reminds me of an article I saw a few months ago in regard to a write up on the new Chevy Malibu. Either way, it looks like it was reversed into a brick wall.

At least a V8SC keeps the road car shape and at least uses a couple of road car compenents. |

The VE and the Astina both have lights that include the top of the rear section of the car (not too obvious in your commie pic) - this IMHO makes them both ugly in the same manner. HSV saw this and tried to fix it. Significantly this is a key difference in the VE-VEIII change. Thanks for the pic, and Sorry if I was not sufficiently specific. |

But will put them at odds with Chev badge importers and licensed manufacturers.

You can buy Chev badges from your local holden dealer already...genuine spare part.
