    Default VE utes - good or bad

    So whats everyone think about the VE utes?

    I have to admit they look better than i expected after seeing all the spy shots and computer generated images that have been floating around. As usual the base models are pretty plain, but the ssv looks pretty good i reckon.

    i think it looks pretty cool. im not a fan of the high sides, but i felt the same way about the sedan when i first saw it, and that has grown on me now. i'll reserve complete judgement until i actually see one for myself. it's a pitty that they had to shorten the tray's capacity. i wonder what i nice big, shiny five-poster would look like riding on it...

    Yeah if i had to say anything bad about them it would be the back end - might take a bit of getting used to the new wrap around tail lights. That wouldnt stop me buying one though

    Definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the VZ. I'd get one myself eventually, but wouldn't buy new, most likely a 2nd hand one in a few years.

    I love the look of the higher end VE Utes, but im not too sure on the rear lights at the moment but i will probably grow to like them in time.

    I like it, except for the tail lights. Maybe it's because I'm not used to the style, but they look out of place.

    the look of the ute is probably better than i expected i dont think it looks totally awesome and makes me want to go out and buy one straight away. On the other hand a 6 litre 6 speed does make me feel like i want one straight away! im hangin to see what HSV do...

    So is there or will there be a four door Crewman like version floating about? Or will we be back to two door divisional vans?
