New LHD Commodores getting around

[Frost]

I passed 2 today, I couldnt get my Camera out but I passed the New Pontiac "GT" which is a 4 door commo with differnt front end and a snowplough body kid.

And a Lincon I think it was, it was a Caprice with the same ass end but the front end had a really ghay bonnet ordainment 2 "flag poles" and yeah. Both had really Illegal dark tint front windows and completely black rear windows, infact I dont even think there was rear windows it was just a piece of plastic.

Will get snaps on the way tommorow.

Has anyone seen the new FGs they are exporitng around?

They don't make LHD Falcons, and Lincoln is a subsidary of Ford US.

I saw a Pontiac G8 yesterday as well, complete with LHD stickers across the rear. I have to say, I really do like the G8 front end. It just looks tougher than the standard VEs

Seen a G8 today at mornington, I agree with the above comment that they look heaps better than the commo.

[Stengord]

They dont even bother to change the wheels
I really dont like the pontiac twin grille, fair enough, looked good on trans-am's, but c'mon

much better than say a base model omega lol

I saw one ages ago in October 07 when I was washing my car...I had a chat to the guy driving it, but he wasn't really that talkative..

hmm come to think of it, the one i saw had chev badges on it and all commodore style kit, looked nothing like the pic above lol
pretty sure it was just an sv6, but yeah had chev badges and was left hand drive
i guess the exports to the middle east n stuff are badged as chevs?

Yep, in Africa and the Middle East, they are called Chevrolet Luminas, and the LWBs are/were called Caprices

[misk]

fair enough, that'd be what i saw then lol. i didnt see the front so i guess was just like another commodore but left hand drive

I work in Port Melb, opposite Holden, I see all sorts of stuff.

New Camaro convertibles, a statesman badged as a "Veritas" with a big bonnet ornament, statos badged as Buicks Park Royals, Chevy Luminas, Pontiacs.. you name it.

There was a blue statesman with Asian characters as badges (not anime.. Asian text )

Saw a Cadillac CTS on Friday morning, looked alright.

Interestingly the Camaro convertible was cruising around with a new Mustang recently, both turned into HEC. GMH doing some comparitive testing maybe?

a statesman badged as a "Veritas"?

It's a Daewoo. http://www.caradvice.com.au/16233/holde ... o-veritas/
But working near a car factory would kick a$$.
