HSV unveils E2 range

[Travy]

Tyre shops are goin to be rubbing their hands together cos those people buying them will be changing those gay as **** tri-spoke style wheels asap..

[SquishyShoes]

First thing I thought was EVO

I agree completely.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this image but it's a clip from a poster I obtained of the E2 GTS.

^^How come that looks so much better than those first pics? (Apart, maybe from the elongated nose).
Camera angle perhaps... Maybe they're not so ugly after all...

[DARK SIDE]

Has anyone even bothered to go on on the hsv site? you can make the car what ever color you want choose the rims and turn the car around 360 degrees and have a look from every angle.

[greenfoam]

The whole HSV site is like a 13 year olds bedroom with Nuclear signs all over it, total fail , toxic indeed

I've got no idea who's running HSV but they need a change

[squawk]

they look MINT!! LED strip on the front bar is a nice touch, little bit like the Audi R8

[nick3110]

maybe they should put a lot less money into making that site, and put it into their design fund..

[guyman]

based on most reactions by people here and on other sites, series 1 models may actually have appreciated

[Johnsy]

wonder if i can get the competitive mode put on my car ? Glad i got mine before they had to offload the G8 spares onto us.......

The suspension package is a bit pricey... and i wouldn't want mine any lower i have enough trouble getting out of my drive way as it is...

and how does leather and 20" wheels earn a SV badge ? ( might get one of those also

[shiftySLE]

those 3 spoke wheels remind me of the nuclear sign... rubbish...

the rest looks good though

At least you will be able to get some accessories for it

It looks as good as any new car before it grows on you I think. Nothing special on first impressions the more I see pics of it.

[VT_Lance]

here are a few chops from ls1.com.au that improve the look of these car's



led's removed and wheels painted black


the 2 chrome bits on bonnet removed,G8 nostrils colour coded and the front air dam colour coded


instead of 2 chrome things at front replaced with a single black one


led's under head lights like they should be

[davey g-force]

^^ Much more better-er

[S.O.S]

It's just come to me, the wheels on the gts are similar to the concept wheels from the w427. And i don't recall them looking this bad ?.

[Morton]

Every single one of those chops looks a hundred times better

[ruggj]

Every single one of those chops looks a hundred times better

agreed .

[S.O.S]

actually most of the shots from ls1 make it look better then hsv's own shots. I'm getting to like it from their shots.

Now you all know that open grill can't be accepted, nobody accepted mine. I think i designed the senators grill ?.

[benjamino]

i was in love with the VE senators, and theyve just made it look a million times crapper.
way overdone, on a majority of the models.
and those front bumpers make me cringe haha
what was so wrong with the VE style stuff?
a few minor tweakings of that kit wouldv been mint,
hsv just tried too hard and conceived and ugly bastaaard child

[GAMBLR]

Gimme one of the chops from ls1 forums anyday

I have to disagree here, the former VE Senator just looke dlike a calais, couldnt really tell it was a HSV until a 2nd look. I am not a fan of the VE's, but I am in love with the new E2 Senator...it just oozes class as far as im concerned.

2nd'd. Unique grill only available on that model adds to the class. Best VE Model (infact the only decent looking one). Props to the first person who buys a Tourer and puts a senator kit on the front (likewise anyone who changes the rear of a tourer to not look like a CalaisV or SSV Wagon)

Even better now you can get a manual Senator (WTF were HSV thinking).

[CommVTS]

saw a couple of these today in croydon and they look alot better in person IMO. The LED lights look very similiar to the audi ones. But i think i like the first series better.

[Disturbed_vegeta]

the only decent looking on is the senator, but the chops of the gts make it look decent...if i owned one, i'd go straight to the pannel beaters and get it made to look like that....and probli throw the old rear bar on, the new one looks like poo.

[PhantomSV6]

Someone's gonna get fired for this one...
