Just Spotted a VE

[Paul]

Did Nappa post the pictures they claimed they had?

[Polyal]

have you read some of those comments on that autoblog site...lol...if only the yanks got to sample some ford and fpv product, they all believe that holdens are the best thing in the world...lol

Its amazing how brain washed some commy people are.

[Nappa]

Therefore it may have been a jump start, which could mean mechanical/electrical gremlins.

Every car has probs from factory, you dont want to know how many vz's didnt start first time round when they first came down the line.

as for the battery 99% sure its in the boot unless its been moved since ive seen it.

they were going to make a coupe version then holden started going down hill so canned that idea. they made a proto-type and apparently looked very very nice.

It should be soon, now that they have the test cars completely built and being driven.

the release will be at the end of june.


they've only made approx 60 cars on the production line all the others would have been hand built approx 10-15. the interior is impressive but s and ss models can option a colour coded crash pad (dash) which in orange looks terrible. the side vents are different to vz, all models have them and statesman gets slightly wider one because they have a different front guard head lights, hsv gets a different front guard again with a huge higher and thiner hole for a vent. the brakes look kinda small but apparently there the same size as the vz just different shaped. rotors are bigger though, the wheels on a ss just dont fill out the guards, they look like 16's but there actually 18's standard.

Im guessing that you work for gmh from your post but anychance you have any pics of the new interior thtas one thing im really interested in.

[sfr rob]

nappa, send the photos VIA message, or infra-red to someone elses phone with a working cable or memory card that is compatible with a PC, thats how i do it with my phone, i send it to his phone, he uses his card in the PC, EASY!

[MethodX]

gotta love this quote

. So GM's theory is to make the nicer models in Australia while creating and selling the butt-ugly ones here? Hmmm... interesting marketing strategy.

I wonder if holden will make an AWD SS with the ve, they have the tools??

whats mark skaife got to do with this? :

[2kool4u]

how fuct is his ad for dodo, that made him look like a real tool

[FGX-351]

lol i havent seen it yet, ill keep an eye out for it

[2kool4u]

get your diaper ready, it's sooo ghey you'll probably wet yourself laughing at him.

[FGX-351]

thats no problem i keep spares for when i watch v8sc, i went through a whole box when ingal swerved him:p

[2kool4u]

I'm glad ambrose is gone, he was the dirties driver i ever saw, he only ever beat skaify cause he took him out all the time.

ingall is much better than ambrose, he wins cause he can drive

[FGX-351]

lol im gonna stay outta that one, $5 says this thread turns into a flaming after that comment

[phat_stak_tipa]

VE stands for VENARIAL EXTRAS hahahaha

[FGX-351]

lol thats a good one

[paulbowman]

Yes good exterior pics but are there any of the inside

[Poetic Justice]

How about we keep on topic fellas?

[need psi]

sorry guys no picsof the inside, any one who is caught with a camera phone or any other camera device is immediatly dismissed, then and there after they look through your phone. yeah i work for gmh, hate them though.

[HSE2]

is the inside much of a step up re quality?

[FGX-351]

have they at least changed that ugly door trim and relocated the inside door handles, that was one of my biggest problems with the vt-z commodores

[2kool4u]

I like the inside of the VTvz better than the falcons for some reason, just grew on me I spose. I hope they don't ruin it with the VE and make it all retro.

[FGX-351]

^^^ i Personaly dont like it that much, to me the dash looks cluttered in vt/x and bland in vy/z but like i said before i just really dislike the door trim imo its one of the big contributing factors that makes the vy/z interior look so dated plus the door handles are really akward in the position there in.

*works for a holden dealer*

Spoke to our DP yesterday, says we will have VE's in the showroom in July with them going on sale in August

Messages for Holden.

While your original stylists were away:
Mitsubishi rang. they want their 380 rear back
Ford rang, they want their headlights back
Audi rang. They want their windows back

--
Mind you when has holden last had real original syling. Every Commodore has jsut been warmed over Opel designs anyhow, I think holden have forgotton how to be original.
Whether you liked or hated the AU and/or BA, at least they were original aussie designs.

we have just got a new alloy V6 its evil
I'd love to go over to the USA with my VR and cruize around I know I'd be about the only one in the country so it would get heaps of looks, plus you got some crazy road over there

[FGX-351]

lol i remember reading that one but the question he needs to ask himself are the looks he gets for the right or wrong reason? i put my money on the later

On that subject.

When the Falcon was first released over here, wasnt it designed by Ford in the USA?

Just wondering.
