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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Very interested to see what hsv do with it.

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

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

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
