Fog was the reason the broadcast was delayed - some Press were stuck at airports!

lol, yeh I agree with ya about the fact that it looks rather similar to the other models, crack up thinking about how he says that every pannel is different to the previous models. Have to admit but, that when HSV gets hold of em, it's gonna be impressive, much like the fpv with new falcons.
Got a little bored and checked out a few holden forums, and some of them don't like how the front and rear bars are, I also think we've got more hits, which is unusual on a holden based topic... |

Neither did they throw panels from other cars. They might have been influenced by other designs, but this is totally Holden

I think it looks alright but i dont think it will date BF like VT dated EL, infact if they do a more comprehensive update for BF2 i dont think it will be much behind the VE with possibly our interior being a match

Overall, a good product, will be good for Australia..
Two Points: The only vehicle which looked in proportion to me was the Caprice, and everything else looked like a squashed version of it. Is it just me or did the front of the car look a little TOO compact?? |

I like it, wouldn't say it looks GREAT... better than VZ, but definately not enough to make me jump ship to Holden before seeing the Orion.
Did anyone else see the screen in the Calais though? DAMN that looked nice, would have had to have been 6-8 inch. |

quad exhaust on the Caprice, which i really like. I quite liked all of their range, i cant wait to wander down to our Holden dealer and check them all out in the flesh. Did he mention when we'll be able to do that? The Caprice comes out November was it? Very nice looking cars

Teki04, I'm just a little bit rusty on the new holden body shapes, guess if I were to put the VE and the previous model next to one-another there would be a difference.
Bucket, I agree with ya, sorta looks like a big astra i think. But nowadays something always looks like a different car, there are only so many different changes you can make |
