The VE ute looks very yanky type chev anyways.

With some big wheels i reckon it would look alright

[Fairmont888]

would look better if they took to it with a sledgehammer to redesign it

Kaddis - Big wheels??? They bloody come stock with 19s!

Fken retarded wheel arches...you could smuggle an asian family into the country in each one of the kents.

[speed.freak]

the tray part of ve's looks weird. dosnt look complete really.

Yeh, well you need some 22's at least to fill them guards up!

19's look too small.

This is mint with 22's and sounds mint with a full difillipo exhaust.

LOL at comparing that to an EF.. never mind the more than 10 year difference between them

[Malakai]

Shitbox!

[Sunboost]

Why?

[[Sterling]]

big wheels make anything look good

[nommic]

No they don't.... look at half the "modified" VRs out there... generic aftermarket rims and an exhaust tip are supposed to make them look good apparently.

Put a Ford badge on it and 90% of the people in this thread will be pulling yourselves silly over it.

IMO CHIEF8 is a nice car, but it needs a respray and all the panel gaps adjusted. VE build quality ftl.

I think it's an awesome car, and it already sounds like a lot of Americans are excited about it. If Ford US ever pull their head out of their arses, they could be doing the same things with Falcons, which would save Ford Aus. and give them some much needed cash to develop some more exciting cars.

It's amusing reading the posts on that page

"0-60 in 5.4 secs is as serious as a heart attack. Couldn't see if it was front or rear wheel drive, if it's rear I wonder how they can hook up so good with what looks like very little over the rear wheels. Probably going to get about the same MPG as a truck with that much power, but light years ahead on handling."

It's easy to forget we are a bit spoilt in Oz when it comes to cars.

for some reason, already looks dated

just another commo ute

That > any E series on this site.

What criteria are you using to come to that conclusion? Definitely not rearward visibility or looks.

VE's are over-hyped and undercooked.

Just for the record, the only difference between VE and FG is that the FG hasn't been over-hyped...
