    Question HSV Senator, looks shit house?

    Just saw this pull up outside work, and I personally think it looks like shit. Anyone else agree?





    And that's the nose of my VR poking out in the 3rd pic on the left hand side next to the motorbikes parking zone.

    Looks great to me. The only 'shithouse' decider is the transmission type. If it has 2 pedals, i'll categorise it with VRs

    I love the older style Maloos, don't mind the new styles either.

    The wheels are rather average on the senator imo, which takes away from the overall look, but it isnt to bad. Hell there is a lot worse. And yeah you cant even compare it to an R8. Its like comparing a futura to an XR8 in the ford world. lol.
    I personally want one of these!

    I saw a black one of these in the flesh last week, and I have to say imo it is the best looking current Holden/HSV. It actually has style.

    Sorry guys but almost all the newer VE's and top end HSV's have a god awful looking front end. Chucking on more grills and vents with sharp lines does not make it look cooler. The only part i like is the R8 tail lights.

    Hence why I like the older Maloos as well. I do agree, the lines are terrible. Id rather the GTS look over the HSV current model. :/

    I moreso want the car in the link I posted because of the walkinshaw enhancements, not coz its a GTS. Appearance wise I think it looks only ok, esp the shithouse green its in. Did you see the sats on it though?? 480kw, 807nm torque!!!! Now THAT is *drool*

    Totally agree, The senator is awful. The maloo pictured above looks great excluding those flares on the front bar at the bottom corners... would look nice without them.

    Nice work, just change the wheels to something nicer.

    BTW I know it is only my opinion, but those bonnet vents/scoops look shit, and I reckon in 5 years everyone will hate them. Not to mention the front bars on the new VEs don't even look like they follow the lines properly, kinda looks like the front end has melted.
