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

by **falcon4life** » February 11th, 2013, 4:12 pm

Got the volt mixed with the malibu

by **braad** » February 11th, 2013, 10:02 pm

I like it. It looks nice

You mean opel badges? Opel insignia...
Dash looks familiar.

Now that opel are in Oz mayne they'll morph the commodore into something similar and hope no one notices

I can see this car dominating new car sales. Looks good and usually new holdens have to wear on me. This one seems good from the start.

As said though, it is the flagship in SWB so we can assume the lower spec cars may look average. (wishful thinking)

SS V is also unveiled now.

Looks so much better than the calais

by **Bipolar** » February 15th, 2013, 2:16 pm

Looks really tame externally.

Interior looks bland in the video but would probably look better in person. How many cars are doing the Suby dash thing now?

by **GIFFO97** » February 19th, 2013, 5:41 pm

Couple more models released today, The SS-V Sedan, SS-V Ute and Calais-V Sportwagon. 39KW Power Increase to 309KW in the V8 Models. The Ute & Sportwagon Rear End design stays the same - The SS-V models run a similar bulge to the XR8.

All three bonnets look the same to me?

From my eyes it looks as if the SS-V Bonnets drop off at the back like the XR7 Bulge did wheras the Calais Bonnet continues, That may only just be me though.

Hey Vf, the fu falcon is coming at ya...

above image may not actually resemble anything to do with 2014 falcon

by **braad** » March 1st, 2013, 7:19 am

Looked like a lancer at first glance. Then i figured you're posting mondeo pictures, then realised you're ssying falcon... Serious?

by **nstg8a** » March 1st, 2013, 10:16 am

Yeah that's the 2013 fusion, new falcon is rumoured to look very similar

I hope it doesnt, The Grill is so ugly, in my opinion. In saying that I don't like the FGII grill either.

by **nstg8a** » March 1st, 2013, 3:10 pm

Seriously? I reckon its sexual... Will look tough as in fpv spec I reckon

by **Nikk O'lass** » March 1st, 2013, 3:11 pm

Or...

by **EFFalcon** » March 1st, 2013, 3:26 pm

i love the look of the new fusion/taurus

by **bng** » March 1st, 2013, 3:28 pm

good god that holden ute looks terrible

As long as they have a kit on them they are alright but I just think the base models are a little yuck.... But nothing will beat an E Series XR...

by **falcon4life** » March 1st, 2013, 6:42 pm

I was considering buying a new vf ss ute when released but they have the same rear end as a ve and look gay because of it

by **SexcEB** » March 6th, 2013, 9:33 pm

Sorry I cant stand it,

I want to see what FORD will bring

I dont like any new HOLDEN/COMMODORE.

They dont impress me at all, Last Well made/good looking Commodore was the VR/VS.

Go the Fords

:)

by **SLY-TX5** » March 20th, 2013, 2:51 pm

I like the interior however the front reminds me of a Jaguar and dat ass looks like a cruise on steroids..whack a chev badge on and it will soon be the boganic chariot of choice. Nah im being too much..it's fine but doesnt interest me as I'm personally strictly Ford so..

by **SexcEB** » April 11th, 2013, 6:03 pm

Sorry the new ford dosn't impress me either FG was last nice ford cya later to the newest ones

by **markTD** » April 15th, 2013, 9:50 pm

The SSV shits over the Calais. Very classy Interior with that ICC display and stuff. More things to go wrong though.

by **GIFFO97** » May 5th, 2013, 6:45 pm

... Update here, Heard on the radio this morning that Holden are going for a big sales push with the VF, Major price revsisions in the Range, $10,000 price drop on Omega models, Bringing the VF Omega Ute down to $25,490, The Sedan down to $29,990 and the Wagon down to $31,990. Also further price drops on the other trim levels which are yet to be released.

I believe they will be retaining the same 3.0L 190KW SIDI Engine, But they now come with Factory Alloys.

by **nstg8a** » May 5th, 2013, 7:01 pm

Those prices are very different ro whats on aff and ff.

A 25k new commo? Would suck to be selling a ve

Yep, That's what I heard on the Radio. Makes you wonder how good they are at that price though ...

by **nstg8a** » May 5th, 2013, 7:26 pm

I'd say the radio has its numbers a bit wrong.

This is from aff

Evoke V6: $34,990 ($5000 off)
SV6 manual: $35,990 ($6800 off)
SV6 auto: $38,190 ($5600 off)
Calais V6: $39,990 ($8300 off)
Calais V V6: $46,990 ($9800 off)
Calais V V8: $52,990 ($9000 off)
SS manual: $41,990 ($5800 off)
SS auto: $44,190 ($5600 off)
SS-V manual: $45,490 ($9800 off)
SS-V auto: $47,690 ($9600 off)
Redline manual: $51,490 ($5800 off)
Redline auto: $53,690 ($5600 off)
Caprice V: $59,990 ($10,000 off)

by **falcon4life** » May 5th, 2013, 8:04 pm

You can get a maloo for the same price of a redline

Seeing this I now agree. Still some good savings, I'm assuming the Evoke is the base model... Interesting name.

Yeah evoke is the old omega and berlina merged.

Those prices are really just what people have been paying anyway going by the other forums, no one pays rrp any more.

Saw one at work last week and now we have 2 on site

More comfortable than a ve to sit in and the HUD is really cool and appears like it's at the end of the bonnet

by **private9** » June 11th, 2013, 8:50 pm

Fingers crossed they sell! Alot of VE owners onto their 2nd or even 3rd VE that are hanging out for one.

Should be heaps of cheap ve's on the market over the next few months...

by **falcon4life** » June 11th, 2013, 9:26 pm

These are going to sell like crazy, foreman ordered his Calais today and I've never seen so much interest in a new car
