    Yeah it is hard to tell, but if u get up close to the screen (myn is lcd so i have to to get brightness right in top corner) i reckon it might just be it.

    and no i dont mean have a squint from 1 cm away and imagine either.

    it's hard to tell, i'd say it isn't a VE but i couldn't say what it was. doesn't really look like the released photos of the VE

    It's a lesser known fact that when Holden were designing the VN Commodore back in 1982 (they started back then) they had the holden design people driving around in a Falcon with a stripped out interior and swapping position every so often so they could get an idea of what they wanted to do with the VN in terms of size, and to better the Falcon (fuel scare was over, wanted to go back to making a big car). Also of interest but off topic they had designed both a VN with the RB30 motor and a VM with the Buick V6 in case they couldn't finish in time..

    The moral of the story, the car in the photo isn't necessarily a Holden

    That's not the same car as any other the other offical spy pics, but that's much more like what some guys that work at Holden have been saying it looks like "coupe like" with a raked front window, looks mean as hell like a Ford XB coupe from the front

    Well, all i can see is that the car is a vz. It just has no bumper or bonnet, and a mesh over the radiator to block most of the bugs (cause there is no front bumper).

    I think it's a VZ Monaro.. I've imposed the best picture I could find over the top (had to cut it up a bit to make it fit over because it's not the same angle) but you get the idea.. also the side by side.. yeah..

    That's just the really big radiator, if you take off a Monaro front bar that's what ya get :? can see it in the hole in the front bar

    But don't forget that the pics we have seen have the VE SS with Monaro front.
