Preserved from CalaisTurbo (partial recovery). Original authors and dates are shown; archived members are not current Holdcom accounts.

I was thinking last night it actually doesnt seem that bad just first impressions of it really turned me off but if these come out Turbo or Supercharged V8 it would be interesting.

I dont like many commodores,VH's, VK brockys, VL Calais, VR/VS HSV's. Thats about it. I like the look of the VE, getting away from the fat bodied VT,X,Y,Z platform. Holden need to shake things up a bit because im thinking of getting a new car and at the moment its probably going to be a Falcon! Hopefully the VE will bring me back from the darkside lol. it's similar to the torana, the torana looks like a frog, this looks like a swollen toad

Check this out, apparently it is the VE altitude testing in colorado. They have done a pretty decent job of covering the car up, so it's hard to get any real indication of what it will look like, but from what i can tell it will look sweet. Also, the front looks similar to artist impressions, torana - again, from what i can tell. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I will cry if it has the same sort of front as the Torana! The front lights wrapping over the bonnet looks soooooo **** house! Twin Turbo would be great though, especially if its an option for the Calais Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Holden can only dream of having the technology that Audi have, not even in the same league, Holden are light years behind, if it wasnt for pig headed aussie loyalty Holden would be f*cked and we would all be driving Euro/Jap cars, the VE is a f*ckin abortion the only good thing theyre doing is adding a diesel to the line up, about f*cking time, again copying Audi again, its just going to get more and more interesting with the way fuel prices are going, the Corolla is out selling the Commodore and the Falcon and thats including fleet sales which make up a majority of Holdens sales, look at what Holden are doing, giving away $2,000 of fuel for the V6 and $4k for the V8, real smart ay, fuel goes up... hey lets introduce a 6.0L V8 its bigger, surely its better, f*ckin american mentallity behind it all ffs Holden were still using a pushrod motor until the VZ, they probably wont even use FSI technology for another 10 years, and apparantly 1 billion dollars has been invested into the new Commodore... blue chip???
