Thinking of New Car

I am thinking of buying a new VE Calias in Sandstone, anyone got that colour in any model, I can't find one to have a look at.
My mate at the dealer said there is a series ll coming out early next year which is going to be a lot lighter than the current model, probably worth a wait to see how it ends up and it might be better on fuel.
I still like my VZ which has only done 11,000km, so it is going to be a real challenge between them.

Everything that has been discussed so far points to there being no series two... Just straight into a VF model.

As for making it lighter, unless they start using composite materials and things like fibreglass quarter panels I can't see how it will be made lighter. They aren't exactly going to be removing and of the new components (such as ESP etc). And new composite materials will mean only one thing for certain, PRICE INCREASE!

As for wanting to know if Sandstorn is a good colour for the VE, I have to say for me it was between Sandstorm and Passion Red. Ultimately I went with Passion Red but I have seen Sandstorm and it quite a nice colour. It just doesn't have that "deep wet look" a lot of other colours seem to get. Each to their own though. Whatever you o with, I'm sure you'll be VERY HAPPY.

And with such low km on your VZ you should get top dollar privately...
