Very good review. I can’t wait for your review. I’m trying to be strong ... (financially) but I can feel my willpower buckling.

I think it looks OK. The grill is very conservative. Holden could at the very least designed a unique sportier front bar to Australianise it a bit more. They will not sell at prices quoted. Until they drop the prices to a realistic level and offer at least a 5 year warranty they will only sell in very small numbers. The other concerning thing is that the V6 ZB is less fuel efficient than the VF and the 2.0 Turbo needs premium fuel.

A new age guy point of view, he or is it she comes across much like K Rudd, no wonder we have this gender neutral world now and look at the spider arms could do with some ink done to come across as tuff, oh he did not like the V8 Commodore, well ha ha I don't think such would support a bit of what's good for you in anyway with a fellow work employee regardless even if it's mutual.

I understand what your saying. But remember, there hasn't been a true aussie V8 since the VTs1 or VSs3.
If they fitted a 3.5ltr V8 would you be happy? Or if it was a 6ltr but front wheel drive?
To be honest, if you like the VF, keep it. And then in 5years buy a really low km 2nd hand VF.
This new ZB sounds all good if you look at it from the point of view that you are a responsible driver and want something bigger than a corolla to cart your family around in. And don't want a pathetic city 4x4.
