Definetly a step up, the 2014 falcon is gonna need to be a serious bit of kit to take it to Vf, Vf is looking like a game changer.

Dash is a bit how-ya-going, and the boot looks too narrow/crowded with the lights and the body line + lip spoiler.
Have to see one in the flesh to make a proper call on it though.

by **OED666** » February 10th, 2013, 3:21 pm

I actually don't mind it, but I would have to see it in the flesh to make a final decision...

by **GIFFO97** » February 10th, 2013, 3:25 pm

I like it and I'm a Ford fan, Theres alot of hate about it on my Facebook page, But it seems only the "Holden Fans" are the ones that Dislike it. Styling is elegant, Interior is neat and it's features such as push button start, the fact it parks itself etc. Is a Win :cool:

I don't mind it. Less of a Bogans car now i reckon.

I just hope that the original badges can not be removed, and replaced with Chev badges...

Be quite the opposite considering they gonna be exported as chevs.

That's how Holden can afford to spend so much on this update, big bro in the states will be footing the tab.

by **EFFalcon** » February 10th, 2013, 3:32 pm

better than expected, especially the rear.

VE and FG saves will take a dive now

Rear looks like a larger cruze. The interior looks very futuristic.

Will defiantly have to see it in the flesh

Cheers

that looks like its the long wheels base model, but might not be - is there even a long wheel base VE? lol

almost looks like its what you would expect from after VF, pretty massive change when you compare it to previous updates or something like BA-BF.
i really like the interior and front end, but the rear looks like it was designed by homer from the simpsons haha

As I understand it they've been building Vf for a bit now, now its only whatever ve's are left in dealer land to offload.

Fg's sales will be abysmal until 2014. Be some great deals going though, no doubt.

by **SnipeZ** » February 10th, 2013, 3:47 pm

In that first pic it has a HUD or the speedo. Might only be for the top range

Cheers

by **nstg8a** » February 10th, 2013, 3:48 pm

Pics I put up are the Calais V.

All models will feature Windscreen Speedo Display - Also Your Navigation will be displayed on the Windscreen. All Models will have push button start and the technoligy to park themselves.

I watched the release and i can't remember what it's called but they have some technoligy for backing out of the car park, it can sense a car coming behind you 10 metres either way before you see it.

by **superhuS!** » February 10th, 2013, 4:00 pm

That dashboard looks terribad, The seats don't look that nice either.

by **nstg8a** » February 10th, 2013, 4:03 pm

Lol I love the interior, just not a fan of the white.

Very interested to see what hsv do with it.

by **XR_Lightning** » February 10th, 2013, 4:59 pm

Looks very Mazda 6ish on the outside, dont mind it though, will be interesting to see it in the flesh

by **bentls** » February 10th, 2013, 5:26 pm

ve series 2 looks 10x better

by **GIFFO97** » February 10th, 2013, 5:48 pm

The HSV version scares me.

by **wombi90** » February 10th, 2013, 6:50 pm

by **bentls** » February 10th, 2013, 6:52 pm

the back of that looks like its straight from nissans drawings of the r35

432KW/754Nm Supercharged 6.2L

11's stock most likely i'd say.

by **bentls** » February 10th, 2013, 7:21 pm

meh at the end of the day an f6 with 2k spent on it will still walk it, and probably 30k cheaper

by **nstg8a** » February 10th, 2013, 8:27 pm

That black hsv is just one of the magazines chops isnt it?
.the price will be scary if they really get that much power

Be close to wd40 prices

by **wombi90** » February 10th, 2013, 8:33 pm

I'm not sure it's popped up on my Facebook a few times today

by **GIFFO97** » February 10th, 2013, 8:37 pm

I think that's a chopped one. It has the same taillights as the ss in motor magazine.

by **wombi90** » February 10th, 2013, 8:48 pm

Are the hsv different to Holden?

by **falcon4life** » February 10th, 2013, 9:03 pm

My 2 c looks like a volt... Dash looks like a fg... Centre console looks like a cdx barina, door trim looks like a cruze

by **falcon4life** » February 10th, 2013, 9:06 pm

And a cruze steering wheel

by **EFFalcon** » February 10th, 2013, 9:22 pm : **Bipolar Likes this post**

so.... heaps of photos of the Calais V, and given the Calais has always looked reasonably good.

where the povo spec Omega pics

by **GIFFO97** » February 10th, 2013, 9:26 pm

The V8 Supercar version is revealed tomorrow with GRM at 8AM. The SS is next Sunday in Daytona. I doubt they will release povos till august release to public.

by **SNR** » February 10th, 2013, 11:53 pm

Looks a bit like an Aurion

by **Ef_frmnt** » February 11th, 2013, 3:44 am

Looks like a VE that's had a Cruze front and rear sticky taped on.. the BA/BF didn't look like an AU with extras slapped on, but hey maybe Holden fans would think so.

I do like the interior, and the photoshop of the HSV doesn't look too bad

by **SnyperEB** » February 11th, 2013, 8:00 am

Garry Rogers VF

by **SnipeZ** » February 11th, 2013, 8:15 am

The super car vf actually looks quite nice.

Cheers

by **justa6** » February 11th, 2013, 8:18 am

Looks the same as ve, just with ford rear wing. Colours look good.

by **EFFalcon** » February 11th, 2013, 9:22 am

front just looks like a VE on the super car lol.
rear looks toyotaish

doesn't look bad though.

by **Dumpsta** » February 11th, 2013, 10:53 am

I think it looks damn nice inside and out. Got a more luxury elegant appeal then the ve's. Going by the pics alone Id buy one but would want to see one realistically
