Very nice car.
THe wheels are very nice too. Not too plasticy. I hate the plasticy alloys. These actually look like metal. |

Anyways, I wouldn't say the VE exterior is 100% original. There's a bit here and there of others cars. It's been discussed before. |

 : As if BMW would be looking to holden for idea's and then stealing them. Their design team would be shot.

It doesnt look that much like a VE, VE's after all we're trying for a European style.
BMW being European ;)

I've driven the new VE calais 6L, and I would have to say its not a bad machine. That said, first time I laid eyes on it I though BMW and maybe a bit of audi as well. You cant deny the short front overhang is not a rip off of BMW styling!
My thoughts on the BMW tail lights, maybe they are aftermarket jobs (hence they don't line up properly) Last edited by Wundy_30; 08-10-2006 at 06:51 PM. Reason: Rear tails |

VE rip off it surely is. The guard flutes are definitely a rip off from the VE. I mean, there are no other 'new' cars apart from the VE Commodore.. the pinnacle of design and development, is there??
