    Default VE, anyone planning to buy?

    With all the odd pics doing the rounds, with the VE looking different in a lot of them, is there anyone who is planning to buy a VE regardless?
    Just wondering if Holden are taking advance orders and if a member is on the list.
    I can't afford a VT so it won't be me.

    I've heard it's going to have a very clever diesel version of the alloytech engine.. but I can't afford one, not yet anyway lol.. I'll have my first of the Commodores until the last of the Commodores

    I wouldnt buy a car sight unseen. Plus it may take a while for the new shape to grow on me anyway.

    I am in the middle fo deciding wether to wait for the new Holden to come out(no idea if it will be called a commodore let alone a VE) or to buy something like a GTO Z Series, im stuck in 2 worlds, i dare say i will wait for the VE to arrive.

    The lease will be up on my VYII mid next year so unless the thing looks like a complete dog, I'll probably get one. Thinking R8 Clubby at the moment.

    Looks more like a magna hybrid.
    Shame that all the big cars are starting to blend these days.
    I liked it better when you were able to really differentiate between them.

    Exactly. All the shots we are seeing are probably fakes.
