The holden looks even more european than ever. Since the inception of the VB commode, I've never liked the look of the next generation but in time, it's always grown on me.
I'm beginning to wonder though, how much longer the australian car market will demand the 'bigger' cars due to petrol pricing etc etc.
Well done sam on giving us a preview.

Petrol Prices are slowly droping, and are tipped to go under 100c P/L by the end of the year.
I didnt like the VY to start with, infact quite a few of the Commodores i have not liked to start with, but the more you see them, the more you get used to them.
my mum hated the VY to start with, now she drives one.
The VE is the first Commodore since the VS that i have liked the look of straight away, im sure it will look even better in the flesh anyway.

Great. Can't wait to be tailgated / overtaken in a 50kph zone / smashed into by one of those...

I dont like that at all, very ugly.
I think their current model looks 1000 X better than that.
No wonder they're cutting back a shift at Elizabeth.
Ford will be rubbing their hands together.
