VF Sandman

[DMW]

"THE Holden Sandman is back 40 years after it was introduced, minus the fluffy dice and heart-shaped windows — but with the shagpile carpet and brightly coloured stickers that made the original famous."

IMHO it looks just like something completely over the top from play station:lol:

[jc_sv8]

But in a VF though...

Yeah I think if it could be tamed right down in a classy way......perhaps the basic concept might work?:lol:

[XUV]

I don't mind it, but it'd be a SLR6300

[GEN4SS]

The Ute doesn't look to bad but why of why and how can they call a wagon a Sandman???

Some might just settle for the chick :love:

The surfboard will cost you less in the long run

[HSVREDSLED]

Please tell me this is a april fools joke. If not, somebody should get sacked.

Why would they ever want to recreate the ugly as sin sandman anyway. Leave the 'Sandman' name rotting away in backyards where it belongs.

[GEN4SS]

Its legit :doh:

[bonners]

[Woodchukka]

That my friends is an abomination. Someone kill it kill it now. :machinegun::rocket:

I love it, those seat covers are retro perfection and I hope the Ute will also have Sandman blazoned in huge lettering across the tailgate.

[350VZ]

Just another example of holding trying to cash in on a successful legacy just by changing badges and adding pin striping. Lame lame lame Holden. The moron who came up with this should be sacked.

No Huge lettering here

[DanielSS-V]

And if they sell the cars? Remember their is only 250 of them, what do you do then? Apologise to those invovled in its creation or resign your own job?

Its a car FFS. So it doesn't float your boat, do you have to go and get angry about it. The original Sandman was designed to add some bling and sell some cars. I was around when it launched and the original Sandman did zero for me, but I wasn't pissed they made it or that it was a Belmont with a few extras chucked in and some stickers. It suited plenty and sold a few cars. How is this any different.

Oh what a pity they couldn't drop the rego plate down to the bottom bar to make room for a Sandman tailgate.

[dgp]

An SSV-R with CalaisV features, that's what I want.

[crisis]

It does not appear to have been received very well. Pretty much making sure they are not left with too many ute and wagon parts when production stops. I don’t think this will have the effect they were anticipating.

I didn't think you could just slap a "for hire sign" on a broad at a car park in Mexico!~ Is that legal :love:
