HSV GTS LSA lettuce tomato & special sauce on a sesame seed bun

[MAD]

The rear looks like a Mazda 6 MPS.



For the first time in a long while, I think the American style of this car (with no upper grill) looks way better.
*EDIT* I went looking for a pic of this style, but it seems I may have been fooled by a photoshop on the Chevy SS. I can't seem to find the pic that I saw.

Look at the boot spoiler... haha.

[Smoke Pursuit]

I like it. Looks better then the rest of the VF range

On a side note, FPV has just announced the GT Coupe:









(late april fools )

[tex]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Now that IS hot.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In a Roman nose kind of way LOL.

And maybe, just maybe, the 26 inch rims are a little over the top?

I am surprised. I thought the last HSV range were a bit untasteful, this new one is so much worse. It's so bad that it looks like a Camry-like whitegoods car with a bodykit.

One of the few remaining people who havn't realised the old rivarly is dead off the racetrack and now its the Commodore and Falcon vs everyone else.

Without 1 the other is going to stuggle to keep the local suppliers afloat

[No.6]

Im relieved that im not impressed by its looks. Its uglyness will only make the falcons appearance and the FH that bit more attractive.

Words fail me......

HSV has been going wrong since the VXII, VZ was ok but since VE1 they have just been disgusting.

Pretty sure that grill design has been around since the VP days, over twenty years now.

I was gonna say ' trust hsv to build a car that manages to make the e3 look good'

[flooded one]

I like the looks of the VF commodore sedan but HSV has made this look horrible.

Can't notice them

[FOMOCO 1]

Kinda reminds me of a stock VX front...

[Bossxr8]

Its a genuine pic fellas, not a photoshop.

That rear end is puke worthy, the front ain't much better.

BMW anyone?

Holden/HSV may be onto something here. I imagine the designers, engineers, marketeers, and higher-ups sitting around, wondering how they can sell their V8 sedans when the general public just want to buy Mazda 3's with lots of features. Then some Mexican kid pops up out of nowhere and chimes in with "why can't we sell both?"

The board room goes wild. The kid goes home. Then GMH takes the key ingredients and styling elements from a Mazda 3, rolls them together with some home-grown prime Australian VE beef with a dash of supercharger sauce and Bam! The VF was born.

Pure genius. Australian style.

[MITCHAY]

I like it better than the E3 but it's rather boring to me. It looks fine but I HSV wanna hope the motor is worth the $100k price because I don't think the looks are going to sell it.

[Kieron]

Back end looks like it took styling cues from the **** of a Sumo wrestler!

[fordomatic]

You guys need to check out the comments on the justcommodore forum. People are even saying they are going to cancel their orders. Not many over the other side are fans at all

And the plethora of these cashed up bogans are presumably the same mob that shelled out big $$$ for the E3 because it looked so damned sweet.......

As uninspiring as this new release may be......it's still a far sight better looking than its Susan Boyle inspired predecessor.

[OffRoadFalcon]

I was so sure the new VF GTS would be like the E1 VE GTS, which I still think is a very good looking car, and to be honest, in many ways even the E2 and E3 HSVs looked better than this!
IT's got a brilliant engine, but that styling is completely disappointing.

If I wanted a HSV I'd choose a VE1 GTS in that awesome metallic purple and put the engine from this into it!

I was hoping to like the new GTS for its power and speed, and hoped it'd look as good as the first VE's did back in 2006! Looks like they forgot about the styling.

yeat but im sure some of them are dreamers who couldnt afford to pay rego on their vp last month and they are just cancelling their orders in their nightly dream

[Falcman0o7]

I can't believe that holden produced that! It's unlike them to produce a AU commodore LOL

[nstg8a]

Looks better with the camo on it.

Ooh, there's a business opp....

[Kingsley]

Sorry, but for a Commodore that thing hideous.....

Beat me to it, i was just gonna say put the mask back on.If HSV could sell heaps of the most ugly scary vomit inducing australian muscle car ever the VE3 they will have no problem selling this.
