Damn. When I saw the title of the thread, I was hoping to see either a picture of a BF pano or an announcement that it was going to return with Orion

Instead we get a PT Cruiser look alike

Looks like somebody finally worked out how to attach wheels to a puddle of vomit.

I don't see it lasting long here...and those that do buy it will be blinded by Holden marketing.

Good luck to them.

I like that panel van, cause it reminds me of how much I'd rather go for a real panel van like this...



Much better looking in my opinion. :
