Yeah that spoiler on the HSV's looks a little to soft compared to the usual add ons you'd expect from HSV, Holden got it right in that department & made the SS look much more sporty IMO.

Its funny , at first I felt the same - it was just not quite right. Not sure what I didnt like - but I thought then I wasnt a fan. However, with more sighting - acceptance has been easier.

Well...er... I think the new dunnydoor is awesome and in HSV form looks tops. It would be rather boring if all liked the same thing though wouldn't it. Btw I don't mind Hulks posts either.

^^^ agreed. Although I would choose a FPV over HSV I wouldn't go to the point of making a thread about how bad the VF looks from the rear :S

New Falcon is no better, it's a carbon copy of a jag. I think both camps the designers are starting to give up nearing the end and are just lending ideas from elsewhere to get it done quickly.

I didn't necessarily say it was bad, just not really original.

Anything is better than a deluded Hulk thread. Anything.

As for the HSV - Nice interior for an Aussie car. The rest of it is a bit howyagoin.
