have you seen the cover of Wheels magazine? they computer generated what the VE Commodore might look like and it's Torana concept car based. i really hope it looks like that.
the 380 ( which replaces Magna ) might look like the current Galant of USA. i'll look for pics.
i hope the new Toyota Avalon, which takes all of Toyota's V6 engines and Camry's get the V4s , looks like the USA spec ones cause those are HOT!

Gah, I really had the front grill of the current Ferraris, they really shit me.

Yeah I think I saw some bling bling American wannabe tear up the highway with a black one on huge shiiny chrome wheels this morning. It had crocodile skin like impressions. I was like 'WTF?'

it will, if you look at the current CLS merc, released recently, its like the BMW trend, that started with the 7 series and is now from the 5 to the 3 series.

that one looks pretty cool tho

ahh that new holden reminds me heaps of the concept torana <3

 

[transcendent]

the F430 or just a normal current 360 model?

well i hate the one with the double separate grill than the single grill one.


has anyone seen the Citroen, C4 i think? man that car is hot! it won Wheel's car design awards.

i like the new VE commodores front end but the back end is just plain ugly. but you cant judge the car until you see it in the flesh (er..metal). i hear its coming with the Gen IV V8, wouldnt that be too powerful for a family car and couldnt that be getting close to HSV at a cheaper price?

and has anyone heard any news on the next new model falcon? are they goign to realease it around when the VE is released?

what in god's name is that?!?!?

mitsubishi Galant/ new mitsu 380

I believe our one will have slight styling tweaks. New Lamps at both ends. But the sheet metal will be the same.

haha damn
welll... it's interesting
got a pic of the rear end?

Galant rear but I doubt it'll look like this. seems concept carish.

 

[011]

lmfao that's insanely ugly

 

[transcendent]

is it just me or does that arse end sit higher and uglier than the Camry's?

 

[shortygb]

We will have to see it in the flesh really.

Then again it aint designed for our age group.

wow! that jumps out at you, i really hope the 380 looks better than that.

what do you guys think of the new wrx?

i like the 3 part grille on the wrx, it suits the car. comapred to the outgoing model it looks better, more radical in its appearance. and the rear end looks pretty good too.

although i still dont like those gold wheels and the massive spoiler. the spoiler above the back window looks out of place.

I went test driving in it yesterday, and bloody hell it's quick even at 3000/4000.
