There is a distinctive HSV look to it isn't there. Very aggressive front end with similar shapes and angles to the E3. I still can't get into those tail lights though. Here's to hoping HSV redo the tail lights again.

Overall though, I'm impressed. No the same feeling when I saw the VE sports models, but still impressed.

EDIT

It actually reminds me a lot of the Statesman range during the VT-VX era. And, it actually looks like they've done away with the large rear spoiler on the sports models. A way of refining it and smoothing it out I suppose.

Sorry Holden, but you'll need to do better for those who are looking primarily at performance rather than brand loyalty. FG G6E turbo, F6, or GT for me.

Has anyone heard anything about performance? I haven't heard anything at all.

So chassis balance and suspension capability is not important to you?

dont forget that what you see now is not necessarily what you get, for example below is a vid of the 2006 Sydney Motorshow with the just unveiled VE - the wheels on it are MY12

Can't wait to see the SSV Sportwagon to see what the ass-end copped. The sedan looks $hit hot and it appears that many of the SII quirks tried to be addressed. Hopefully the interior materials are a little more robust this time.
6.2 Ltr, 310 KW, Brembo's, HID lights, instruments you can read, leather console lid, larger side mirrors, thinner A pillar design, stereo upgrade! The designers maybe reading JC more than we know...
I wonder if the auto trans has received any refining? Bloody hope so...

Anyone looking for a mint SII SSV Wagon?
