new group a ve/vl retro

[aaronevolution]

Exactly, I dont mind the retro look, I think they look good, however to me the new cars lack passion, imagination and are just trying to cash in on the petigree of the past cars (VB-VL) success in racing and developments in Australian muscle cars.
I wonder what they are going to do next??
VN aero? lets see them try to make that look good on a VE
A Walkinshaw copy? stray from the the HDT line

wont be long and they will run out of stuff to copy

What about a special edition of the Grange, using the Director name.

i like the car, especially the interior. not really sold on the front grill though, looks to much like a mail slot.

Yuck... the gay wing, boonet scoop. let it go HDT. do something new for once.

Interior is nice tho.

Not a fan.. I like the other VE retro's, but this one is too big and ugly.. Like that scoop, way too big!

Like most things, the pictures do not do justice to the car. As someone who was there on the day of the VL Retro launch and took the pictures that glennho posted (thanks for the credit - not), this HDT is something to behold. With other 'New Gen" HDT's, it's either loved or hated, just as people love or hate HSV etc.

Some bag HDT for using the name of "PB" on the cars, however Bev Brock has given HDT re use of PB's signature, the go ahead for both the "30th Anniversary Edition" and the "VL Retro". So whilst PB ain't around to give it the tick, Bev Brock has. Some may not realise that the current owner of HDT and Peter Brock were mates and had discussed what they would if HDT was up for sale. Thus whilst Brockie died before Champion bought HDT, I don't think PB would mind a bit re the use of his name gven it was his heart and sole that built HDT originaly. Just a shame he wasn't around to be part of the new gen HDT.

BTW: This is the last of the 'retro' series, so it will be interesting to see what comes out of HDT post the VL.
