Any problems surfaced?

the rattle from the dash goes away after a while, dads SV6 was pretty bad for rattles for about a month and then they just stopped one day

hmm seems to be an issue this rattle, I think the guys from drive.com.au in their videos found the same fault?

I was about to purchase an SSV, however my gut says to stay and wait for Series II

Well the SSV has 5000k's on it, and he said it started recently.

my car rattles in the centre console for about 2 minutes then just stops. I cant explain it. As for the rattles in VEs going away after a while. Maybe (this is just a wild stupid theory) the parts in the dash settle down due to bumps and gravity???? I dunno. A new car shouldnt have to do that. Waiting 6 months might be wise. At work they get new issues everyday involving quality that they deal with. They do get dealt with. Most of them. Just wait a while.

A guy at work claims to have seen several examples of Nickel-coloured VE's, in various versions, all with what appeared to be very uneven paint on the back bumper area. You wouldn't know anything about that, Drewins?

Would that be between the plastic and the metal??

I dont think it was uneven paint but they were getting slightly different results bettwen the plastic and the metal. I think it was on a weekend lately they changed some of the robot paint guns for the shell so that they were the same as the ones that did the bumpers. Its hard to explain why but im pretty sure they are dealing or have dealt with it. Im not sure of how much info I can tell people before I can get sacked. I guess it would only be info that would be of use to other manufacturers if they get a hold of it. There also may have been a different issue with uneven paint on the bumpers but they are done in a different plant to where I am so im not exactly sure. I wouldnt think a bar with uneven paint would be passed through check stations anyway.

I've looked at LOTS of VE's and have never noticed it - maybe his eyes need checking....

The problem is colour maching between plastic and metal will never be the same. So with some of the more non conservative colours you can see at different angles and shades of light.
