The best looker?

[Nawdy]

What do you think was/is the best looking mass produced Holden ever built? And why?

This can include HSV's, HDT's ect.

I know that this is subjective question (along the lines of how long is a piece of string), but it would be good to hear your opinions.

Any one?

[Dickie Knee]

1962 EK Holden

Not a performance car, still a work of art.

Poor mans Chevy, nice lines, still a classic

[vxcalaiszzz]

HZ Premier.

Looks average stock, makes a good looking street car.

Current model Monaro is also going to be a classic since the next models will probably be going downhill with yankee styling

[Nawdy]

Two favourites for me:

VK Brock Commodore Group 3 fitted with the 304 in silver. Great lines with a little bit of plastic that enhances the look subtly; and

A9X - possibly the toughest looking and best looking two door ever made in Austalia.

[MTC]

HK Monaro GTS. & Current HSV GTO very nice....

of course i can't forget a VYII HSV CLUBSPORT red of course :rolleyes:

[VZKOOP]

HQ Monaro. I also have a soft spot for the EH.

[Road Warrior]

VT Commodore. One of the few cars made that you can observe from any angle and it will still look pleasing to the eye.

[carfreakxr6]

black HSV GTO V2

[strife]

HK Monaro GTS. & Current HSV GTO very nice....



id go with that

[dsvtss]

HJ two door GTS Monaro (Drool)

The VT Coupe concept car, I still think it craps all over the production monaro

[BlueVZSS]

HK Monaro GTS

[bite-me1978]

I'd have to say the LH SLR Torana :cool:

[james2]

HK GTS,HR Premier and the A9X pre 80's post 80's HSV VX and the Monaro.

[brock05]

VK Group A/3 & HK GTS and i also think that the VTII GTS will become a classic in years to come.

[Chris5.7ltr]

VK HDT Group A/3

I love the VK's!

[Aus8]

VUSS! Black and lowered! IMO the best looking Holden ever!

For an accessible, affordable example, nothing beats the VT-VZ Commodore & it's derivatives (SS/SV8/SV6/HSV).

I fell in love with the VT SS the first time it appeared on the cover of Motor (I think it was a blue jobbie) and then when I saw a red VX SS parked out the front of Holden HQ being reviewed by Bill Tuckey, I knew it would be my next car. And it was :)

The current Holden sports range seems to be getting better looking with each release and I hope like anything that the all new VE follows suit.

[team illucid]

I think the 2 door SS Torana was tops ... I also liked the VT SS when it first came out and I like it even more now with the LS1 :)

[Bane]

VK Grp A "Blue Meanie"
LX Torana Hatchback - The bogan in me still wants one of these to play with on weekends. ;)
HK - HT GTS Monaro
Series 1 - 3 Monaros, the new VZ monaro is a complete joke.

[holden_fan]

The VL SS Group A Walkinshaw would have to be the best looking car out of all Holden/HSV/HDT models. My dream car but could never afford one.

[Dacious]

HQ GTS. Looks great f/r/side on.

.

I'd agree wth that , the VT & VX at the time of release were fantastic looking production cars - a real testament to Simcoes styling that it even transcended some early (and some ongoing) shortcomings of the car.
The VT/VX will go down as a classic in years to come EH style.

For mine the early Monaros HK/T/G esp in GTS form are the most stylish of all Holdens , and uniquely Australian too.



The VL SS Group A Walkinshaw would have to be the best looking car out of all Holden/HSV/HDT models.

How time changes . I remember when they released the Walkinshaw it was dubbed "the plastic pig" :) for the fact it was considered so ugly.

[justin74]

VYII SS Ute in black of course! :D

[HSVREDSLED]

About 8 years ago, maybe more, I remember seeing a GTS-R I think it was...Yellow with what looked like black kevlar wings and skirts. I only saw one in a showroom and maybe one on the road. Anyone got one??? Post pics please.

Clubbie VX series 2 also looked great, Better than my VY.

[Octane]

What Bane said... he's got class!

[VQ304]

VQII Caprice. White, lowered on internationals. Why? I don't know, I just like them!

[plonkerchops]

VK Brock Commodore Group 3 fitted with the 304 in silver. Great lines with a little bit of plastic that enhances the look subtly; and

A9X - possibly the toughest looking and best looking two door ever made in Austalia.

you have impeccible taste in motor vehicles Nawdy :D ....my choice too :)


The VT Coupe concept car, I still think it craps all over the production monaro.
Youre right about that too , the way the VT tail lights wrapped around the back just suited the shape better ...more integrated.........

[Peter B - CV8]

There are quite a few to choose from :
LJ Xu1(green), A9X Hatch (red), VK Director (Maroon), HK GTS (Silver Mink)

[Clutchboy]

A9X Torana and VN SS

[SSBarney]

HQ Monaro Coupe for me.

[ssberlina]

For me it is these cars.

Monaro

The best shape was the HK/T/G but my fav is the HG GTS 350

Commodore

VH HDT group 3
VK Group A (Blue one)

Torana

A9X hatch all the may (best looking by far)

[team illucid]

For me it is these cars.
Torana
A9X hatch all the may (best looking by far)

May? What about the rest of the year?? :)

[all4ford]

My 2 favourates have already been mentioned, they are the A9X Torana and the HK Monaro coupe. I love both those cars to death and I'm a Ford freak lol.

[ATOMIC MALOO R8]

VYII SS Ute in black of course! :D AND a red hsv maloo first with a black vz gto second

[ssberlina]

May? What about the rest of the year?? :)

This month's Motor has a sort of 'used car' review on them in that section where they look at older model performance cars, if you're interested.

For me, the best lookers have been the VT-VX (SS in particular) and current Monaro.

[plonkerchops]

A9X Torana and VN SS

I dont think the Gpack with a flare kit really cut the mustard Kev :D :stick: :moon:

[ls1 VN]

These cars were all magic,
SLR 5000

HK/ HT/ HG-GTS 350 Monaro

HQ 4DR Monaro

VK GRP A (blue)

VL Wilkinshaw sv

VN GRP A

[Woodsy]

VYII SS Ute in black of course! :D
VYI SS Ute in Hothouse, on it's guts with 19" Fury's :D

Seriously, the A9X Torrie in full armour and war paint will always look the goods for me. :)

[Redhot_57]

Here's my pic. Some have already been mentioned.


HK GTS 327 in silver mink, or HT GTS in sebring orange - timeless classics

VK Group A - Wow factor, what more needs to be said?

VN SS in phoenix red - clean examples still turn heads, look tough

VS Senator in Cherry black - modern muscle with class

VX SS red hot - im biased, but always liked them in that colour

[Gee]

1. HQ GTS 350 coupe, either in silver with orange stripes or preferaby an ultra rare purple with white stripes (over white interior too... groooovy)

2. yes, as said a few times now, the classic HK GTS 327 in silver mink.

3. lastly the Monaro of today is a stunning thing (sans spoiler please :D )

[bejay]

The HK GTS I have always liked the best

And the HSV GTO, exactly like the one I own :drool: :D :D

Clubbie VX series 2 also looked great, Better than my VY.

I can't agree, but here ya go..... twins!!

http://pic7.picturetrail.com/VOL192/1281506/3569587/53928897.jpg

Best looking Holden for me is the V2 Monaro, just a fantastic shaped car. It doesn't need wings or a body kit, much like a beautiful woman that doesn't need make up to look stunning.

:cheers:

[fyreblade2000]

Black WH HSV Grange Series II

Sheesh....Look at that rear wing...Im speechless. Maybe I was pissed when I walked into the showroom and only saw it from the front.

I would like to retract my vote for the GTS R. That rear wing is just too much.

I will change my vote to HQ Monaro 2 door, A9X, and Clubby VXII.

Looks like a Taxi rank

Taxi ! :lol:

Sorry could not help it.

[awddynotodd]

Strange how no ones mentioned the Brougham! :D

[doc]

Strange how no ones mentioned the Brougham! :D

Yep,learnt to drive in a Brougham, very nice, but HT Monaro for me

[Doug]

I know this is going out on a limb, but I've always loved a clean Gun Metal Grey VN SS. The VTII SS is probably my all time favourite - in black. (Although 8tb's burnt orange VTII SS was looking rather sharp last time I saw it.)

[LuKeY]

I'm a Ford fan and i say the VX SSs are the best

[Dacious]

I like Broughams, too - my Dad's was my P-plate car, but a bit too US-looking with the enormous arse and double chin! :lol:

Nope, I'll change my vote to any 2-door Monaro..... :cool:

[OLS108]

um id say WH GRANGE ( i get a Fat everytime i see one ) :eek:

[Frankster_P]

VH Brock group 3 in red

Still a great looking car today

[SASLS1]

HQ GTS Monaro coupe, wins hands down!!!

BTW, You don't see handly any of them, on the road theses days either......

[VRIIClubby]

1. Love them or hate them, VL Walky...
2. VN Grp A SS
3. The whole VR-S HSV Range, will be timeless...

[220i]

HSV GTO coupe in black
VS GTS
VX Clubsport R8
VZ Senator and Coupe4 are :cool:

[VZKOOP]

um id say WH GRANGE ( i get a Fat everytime i see one ) :eek:

[VZKOOP]
