Was down the local stealership before and seen the Calais-v wagon. Bloody 48k plus on roads.. Screw that.

48 plus you could find a nice 2nd clubby or fully optioned Calais for less.. The only real body change to the wagon was the head lights and grill apart from that it looks the same still

Thx thought so. I might need the sexy new interior pizazz though, will definitely get a VF SSV but not sold on trading my wagon... just yet. Price seems OK.

When I was down at the local dealer this morning the first of the VF 's are arriving soon , but not the ones that have been pre-ordered , which they tell me are mostly SV6's

Ive driven a few of them. They feel very similar to the VE, must say the shiftronic shifting is much more responsive though.

I still can't believe they have the now dated looking mirrors from the VY. They don't even suit the shape of the car anymore. Hell, even the site mirrors off of a Mazda 2 would look better, at least the basic shape would flow with the front and rear end.

Also the steering is very smooth thanks t the electronic steering but I'm sure a lot of people will actually dislike it
