 One of the guys on the Commodore Forum said he photoshop'd the picture. So could be the closest pic to the new model or a load of C r a p. |

i thought the point of the torana was to show the styling highlights of what the VE will look like. To be honest i think it was pure horn. You can see it even through the camo gear on the real VE

i'm predicting the next commadore to be a nice looker with huge chassis refinement . and engine torque improvements . but heavier . closer to falcon. but it will be a surprise to see what the interior will look like . maybe they might leap 2 decades and have i nice interior.

the white photochopped one is a lame job, the bonnet looks as though it could fit a 2l engie in and nothing else....but the green tori looks tough as, i dont know how you can say its nothing inspiring Polyal!

: if that actually going to be the next commodore it doesnt seem right for the car, considering they want to fit 4.0Ltr V6 engine and 5.0ltr V8 cause it seem like a very ugly car but who knows since it havent been made yet

I like the look of that green one, I'm a Ford man through and through, but I'm not going to sit here and say it look's crap just because it's a Holden, we must realise that in the past Holen has made some HP vehicle's that the general public have liked, they are the one's that really have led in this area, I believe the VE will be something to recken with.

The picture looks nice, but then again, look at the rims they are like 22" or something, and the fact of the matter is that you are gonna have factory 15" or 16" wheels with plastic wheel covers on them. Also, the car aint gonna be lowered to the deck either in executive and other non sporty models. I think that's what others mean when they say their not inspired by the design.

The guy obviously worked hard on the white holden pic, so first of all well done to him/her...
Why does it look like it's been hit by something big and heavy? Is it just me? |

You guys are all wrong, the white one has an east west engine in it. Shocking indeed especially with the xa scoops in the squished down bonnet. And those headlights make it look like a pug dog.

Yeah, all the photo's I've seen of it look dog ugly. Because the size of the car is shrinking and the wheelbase is getting longer, it gives a very pug-nose look...
Anyhow, wait and see I guess... |
