Here's my guess as to how the VE line-up will go. Its based on the theory that with a 200kw base engine, there doesn't leave much room for a normally aspirated 'hero' six, so i think Holden will go down the turbocharged route (witness, TT36 Torana). I also suspect that a hatch WILL be part of the range, but not as a base model. More than likely just a sports model! So here goes *deep breath*:
Executive - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 5 speed auto (Turbo optional)
Executive Wagon - VZIII - (VE like nose job, updated interior with VE steering wheel, guages) - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 5 speed auto
Acclaim - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 5 speed auto
Acclaim Wagon (same as Exec Wagon)
SV6 - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 5 speed auto
SV6T - 250kw Turbo Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto
SV6T Hatch - 250kw Turbo Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto
SV8 - 300kw L76 - 6 speed auto
SS - 300kw L76 - 6 speed auto
SS Hatch - 300kw L76 - 6 speed auto
Berlina - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto (V8 optional)
Calais - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto (V8 optional)
Calais Turbo - 250kw Turbo Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto
Statesman - 200kw Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto (V8 optional)
Statesman Turbo 250kw Turbo Alloytech V6 - 6 speed auto
Caprice - 300kw L76 - 6 speed auto (Turbo optional)
As for basic features (core models):
Executive - 17" wheels (alloy?), side and front airbags, ABS, ESP, TCL, electric windows all round, CD player with MP3 electric drivers & passengers seats, aerial in rear window (ala Falcon), cruise control, climate control air conditioning (maybe an option), indicators in wing mirrors colour LCD display with stereo and vehicle information, trip computer
Acclaim - same as above plus 17" alloy wheels, curtain airbags, 6 stack CD player, rain sensing wipers, pre-crash technology (tightening belts, unlocking doors etc if an accident is 'immenent')
Berlina - same as above (except some safety items will be optional) adaptive cruise control, full instrumentation, colour LCD touch screen controlling all major fuctions (stereo, HVAC, navigation)
Calais - all of the above plus 18" alloy wheels full leather interior, keyless entry and starting, voice activated controls(?) a better driver interface simular to IDRIVE on BMW(?)
I wonder if I'll even be remotely close!! :thumbsup:
