OMG!!! for the first time ever i'm happy for ford...thankyou ford forum.
Looks nice, the door handles look pretty similar to the VZ ones, just more angular and those buttons between the power windows and shifter look interesting. just one wierd thing...the handbrake looks strange...like really fat...
Sweet either way!!!
Need some parts for my VH 253:
Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
PM with any info.
and another thing...does anyone here reckon they could photoshop the rear end? i mean all the angles are fairly visible...but then again i dont know how to photoshop...anyway just an idea...

interesting...
the hand brake looks bad when its up but when your driving that shoudl sit flush with the rest of the console making it invisible i would think. i good idea in my oppinion. looks very nice imo
Half a carton and still going!!! Now thats Economy
handbrake is awesome
gear lever is horrid!!!
i agree gear lever is digusting!!! thats the lowest spec commy as its only got the 4 speeder. I seriously hope the gear lever is changed for all the other models coz that is really revolting!! i'd prefer the vz jobbie over that! the colour is killa though. shits all over the red hot that they used to hav. mettalics over plains any day!!!

man look at the amount of icons on the gear selector, P..R.N.D.1.2.3...there's only 7 selections...so unless they removed N or something, that's a 4-speed.
When will holden learn that no one wants a cruddy 4-speed!!!...my car is 11years old and has a 4-speed!!!

It is almost identical to the torana dash only a few differences over all.
I thought that piano black plastic was the new woodgrain i think the wood grain strip would look a bit better with the black instead.
I dont like the way it is all a little to flat round the shifter and window switches theres no grooves no curves just all flat and rather boring.
Shifter is too similar to the falcon and i am hoping that they dump that 4 speed box the car will be held back if they cant provide a better gearbox to match the alloytec.
Just my thoughts
A 5 speed wont naturally have P.R.N.D.4.3.2.1 on it. I do think the base model might still have the 4 speed though. It just doesnt look like a base model with the woodgrain.Originally Posted by big_stretch
Woodgrain + about 300000 steering wheel controls says it isn't base.... maybe berlina since it's lacking the chrome on the outside
Driving a CURSED WH V6.
I might be the only one that likes the handbrake, Think about it when it's down it doesn't sit there in the way and look ugly like the old models before the VT. And it doesn't sit on your leg like VT on wards, When it's down it fits right in like the left side pretty good i think.

But it does look weird up...

The 5spd auto in the vz has P..R.N.D.4.3.L (either L or 2 but i cant remember)......Originally Posted by big_stretch
Interior looks generally good. Obviously its a berlina interior, as the outside only has chrome around the window whereas the calais has chrome elsewhere.
That's the most K-radical handbrake I've ever seen, looks like that's the executive or something mid range, strange woodgrain insert on the dash too, looks a bit out of place

I think that interior is awesome! I love it...the hadnbrake does look weird pulled up though....but thats an excellent interior..
Everything is very smooth and free flowing....

and yes, there is such a gear box, because its currently in the SX6 Adventra
hrmm, verry diffrent syling with the dash...and yer hand break looks lil odd, rest of it is noice
Thats all right, thats ok, I drive a commodore anyway!!!!
See the interior is like the Torana concept.
1. CD Player/Display screen
2. Stereo controls
3. AC/Climate Control
4. Hand grips/storage bins?
5. power window controls
6. Steering wheel
7. Overal dash shape and profile
I'm pretty sure he was talking about the interior door handles since we're talking about the interior.Originally Posted by highendrev
even then, they look nothing like VZ interior handles
