VE Commodore pics

Took these tonight after finishing work.

They are a bit shitty as they were taken hand-held and it was lashing it down with rain.

Has 16" wheels with 225/60 15 tyres even on the base models..

Hand-brake looks extremely 'gay' very weak and plastic looking. I wouldn't be too keen to use the hand-brake to corner and it looks like it would break off in your hand quite easily.

Looks like a cross between a Mitsubishi 380 and a BF Falcon.

I don't like the lack of over-hang between the front of the car and the front wheels.

It's a panel-beaters dream! 3 different creases in the rear doors.

Maybe it'll grow on me one day..

Please free to comment..

Wow thats a bit of a change.

These are the only pics I have seen of them but buy the looks of these I would say its like an inbred cross between a BA Falcon and a Camry with a hint of RX8. The HSVs should look ok.

they dont look as good here as in wheels....

rather plain and the archs around the front wheels are a touch overdone

I read in my local Community Paper in the Motoring pages that Holen are going to continue making the VZ models for the time being, so both the VE and VZ will run alongside each other.

Although they have deleted some models like the Adventuras/Cross-fire utes but the Executives/SV6/SS's will continue to be built.

Will dig the story up in the morning and post some more.
