What do you think of the VE?

[s_pack]

Been looking through the thread and I've seen heaps of different opinions, just wondering what people overall think of the upcoming commo..

I'm 50-50 it looks pretty good, better than a VZ, but I don't think it's as good as it could have or should have been

I think it looks good, and will be even better in the flesh. I really do think the VE will make Holden a true world competitor

Now I'm getting there but still really won't make a judgement until i see it in the showroom where i can take a camera and look over it from all angles, Sit my big bum in it and get comfy and then make my mind up 100%.

From the pic's i have seen, i think it is ugly. From the pic's i have seen i will be visiting mr ford dealer.

The car would have to look 200% better in the flesh to look better for me.

I love it, sure the photo's don't do it justice, but this is a car that has been designed by the same people behind the VT, Monaro et al. They are NOT going to release a car that will polarise opinion. It will appeal to everyone, just like the VZ Commdore does now.

I'm VERY curious though, as to how the VE will drive. In fact I find this more interesting than how the thing will look. Will it be a quantum leap over the VT-VZ? Remember this is a totally new platform (Zeta) that Holden has created itself. I can't wait to take one for a spin!! The leadup to the VE in MOTOR and Wheels over the coming weeks will be nothing short of orgasmic I'm sure.

I'm predicting dark days for the Falcon once the VE is released as it has to wait until 2008 for its 'Orion' replacement. Expect to see the Falcon remain in third spot on the charts (or lower) until then. There is a BFII (but more than likey a BG Falcon/Fairlaine) to be around after the VE is released, but with so much money invested by Ford in Orion, it will be little more than a slight nose and bum facelift.

I agree totally...All new suspension and auto electrician the other day suggested a drive-by-wire system (doubt it though), much wider wheelbase as well. Petrol tank placed under the rear seat which should provide better weight distribution? All factors seem to lead to it having much better handling than the current VZ.

Interior, exterior, drivability etc. are all going to be a loong way ahead of the Falcon...sucks to be Ford lol

I also look forward to seeing if it makes a difference in the V8 supercars with the wider wheelbase etc? Im sure the suspension setup will be changed to meet that of the Ford though...
