    Look at the video. The wheels look like a straight pinch from the latest VE, though painted, and the wheel rim appears to have serious kerb rash.

    Sure looks a lot like a VE though.

    the cadillac CTS and CTS v are built on the same platform/chassis as the VE, thats why they look similar.

    Don't think so. The Zeta platform has only been used on the VE and the Camaro. The platform used for Caddy's is more expensive and I "think" they are FWD - is it the Epsilon platform?

    the cadillac is available in rwd or awd and you are correct it is not the zeta it is the sigma platform

    edit; also the sigma platform was designed and engineered by holden.

    Ah yeah, that's it - Sigma. Epsilon is FWD only.

    Not a fan of the front bar. All the Cadillacs and the Chryslers look to bling. Looks like theyre being made for black rappers.

    Is it just me or does the interior look... really busy?

    As PUB247 said, the Audi RS6 is (or was) the fastest estate car in the world. And the best part is, they are an absolute sleeper. I guarantee Habib in his Skyline would think he had a chance. RS6 makes the Tourer look like nana's car.
