I actually think that looks quite good.
Yeah it actually does doesn't it. The ute seems a perfect fit for that front, but sedan would look terrible.

IMO, the whole new Camaro looks terrible. For looks alone, give me the original.

VF Malidore

Just stumbled upon this thread. looks like Spyman was right. I too call it the VF Malidore or should that be Commabu ? How about Cruzadore ? I will say this, VF is one shocker of a car! Did they employ the guy that designed the AU Falcon to do this thing ?

I wanted to like VF so much but... I can't! I think this car will be Holden's down fall! As far as I'm concerned the last Commodore was VE this VF thing is a Daewoo ! I guess it had to have U.S influence to sell there but even the Yanks don't like this thing. Dashboard in it is one of the most hideous things I have seen in a long time. Front end especially on Evoke good lord ! God may save the Queen but nothing will save VF ! You can tidy up the rear if you buy one, just remove boot insert tail lights and have panel beater smooth boot over so it's flush, rear looks much better then it does now. Can't fix up that dreaded front end unless you rip all the panels off and retro fit VE front.

Still...You are left with that hideous dash with twin toilet rolls for instrument binnacle and Sony Wega TV screen smack bang in middle of Korean Malibu dash in it.

Electric hand brake ! Pass on that i'll take the ratchet lever any day! I do hope it sells for Holden employee's sake. can't see it though, Think people will avoid this VF Daewoo like the plague. I think if Holden were left to design it without U.S influence we'd be looking at a very different car and an attractive one.

Just my two cents worth!

I thought the same as the above statement , until I actually saw it in the flesh it's quite good and drives nice as well .
By the by the person who designed the AU Falcon has not been seen or heard of for some time

Verada, your opinion obviously doesnt matter. Dealers are selling them like hot cakes. And as above, they look a lot better in the flesh.

mmmm

anywho, seen a couple around and liking them - still not a fan of the arse end though - the front looks great, yet to see the interior up close but like what I've seen from pics.

Verada, you are in the minority mate.

- Most people don't like the back
- Most people like the front
- Everyone (except you) likes the interior
