RED VE pics from camera phone

[BadMac]

Hi Guys, I looked at where to post this, but somebody closed the thread that mentioned there were new photos of a red VE caught out. The other thread with camera photos has the blue ones in full chequer.

So:

http://www2.filehost.to/files/2006-04-09_02/081318_p4070008sm3qg.jpg

The photo is copied from another forum and there was another photo, but its from further away and not as good.

Things to note:
The colour (it does look like the red from the Calais from another thread).
The flares in full side on.

good work
thats beef
looks sweet

[XLR8 V8]

Loving those pumped front guards

[BadMac]

More things to note:

The arial is roof mounted.
The high stop light has moved from the rear spoiler to the back window.
The front guard vent has the indicator in it.

[PWNAGE]

Good job! I like the new look

[Angelo_XLR8]

with the rear padding it looks like a celica.

[HRT Stroker]

HSV will have a field day with that!!

[Angelo_XLR8]

HSV can soooo pimp that out

gotta admit that the interior is the VE's best kept secret at the moment

[Danv8]

Awesome!
VE cant come quick enough now!

Great job there mate. It looks better in the flesh than the computer enhanced drawngs at drive.com.au that were featured the other day.

Cheers,

Dual exhaust outlets too :cool:

[jsttry]

no too keen on the antenna and the roofline/pillars/side mirrors don't look like they've changed much. Like the exhaust outlets but what is that light down near the drivers side exhaust tip?

[SV300]

Yep looks the goods.

Cant wait to order a VE.

Good snap also!

[HRT Stroker]

the rear spoiler looks to sit very high though.....

A reflector a la VY/VZ

[chillicatqld]

ohhh noooo - not a rear foglight for morons to leave on aka hyundai excel!!!!!!!!!!!

[Falcon Freak]

Get used to VE sightings. Holden is instructing their engineers to drive the prototypes on the public roads with increasing frequency over the coming months. This is the new marketing ploy for the public to see the new car prior to the official release.

Interesting the duel exhaust is on the right hand side.

Commodore always had them on the left. I wonder if this means they will fit duels on each side. (Quads) Cannot quite make it out in the photos though.

Will be interesting to see the finished product and the HSV range.

[SS_Fury]

for a reflector it sure looks like its lighting up??!!!!

[Carby650]

great work guys. The more i see the more I like. But Loving those front guards... flash !!

There are actually dual pipes on BOTH sides :)

I wonder if the aerial is retained on the roof or if it gets integrated into the rear (or is it front?) window ala BA.

I'm loving those mags - I hope they're retained for the SS - and they do indeed look like 19's.

Bring it on :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

They are definitely quads, you can see them in the pic if you boost the brightness.

anything would be better than the cruddy retractable one thats on offer now...save having to replace them regularly

Looks a bit VY -ish at the rear still....not that its a bad thing.....

[Febs]

Loving those pumped front guards

and those quad tips that Motor magazine hinted at/showed last year! They look awesome.

it has been stated that for the last of a platform, Holden gives strong styling clues to the next platform (i.e. VS to VT and now VZ to VE [if that's what the model code will finally be])

[DRKVDR]

Cant wait when the HSV's get released should be awsome

[YLD57L]

Reminds me of an RX8. The guards and lines through the side of the car in particular.

Looks good!

[Dickie Knee]

If it is a fog light it could be there to allow for export to the UK.

it's a reflector just look how the muberplate reflects the light - its probably taken with the flash on...

Hope to have that sorted out shortly;)

Is there also a stop light just above the exhaust or is that just a reflector of sorts?

EDIT: Didn't realise there were 2 more pages to this thread. Ignore this post. Look, an elephant.

[oz_utester]

this thread made my day!

[ralcool]

So they have done away with the c pillar moulding/crease, but still have a roof line on either side. Very black strip, and as per VT.

I thought they would have had a nice one piece look joined, under the door frames or something.

VZ with added mazda. Rear visibility will be shocking without a camera or aid for the littlies. This was reported about yonks ago come VY, yet car makers are still all euro fetching for an image over practicality. Blame the jelly mould mould modeling on high bum lines, and pull out door handles. Short fronts, and high bonnets for pedestrian protection. High sides.... Still Our Aussie compromise. VE. :drool:

In red... wow. Make mine AWD. (oops they can't afford it).. Oh well, 6L DOD, 6Sp Manual, and don't spare the fruit.. might need to wait for series 2 for the fully contented car they want to sell. Ala Spare tyre even?

That's what I was thinking. I drive through there every day. I'll keep my camera with me!

:bounce:

[Maccas]

Anyone else feel the wing looks a bit wrong, somthing about it doesnt seem to sit right, but apart from that cant wait to see it fully unvealed

cheers maccas

dunno - looks a bit like the wings on some of the performance F**cons

could also be the black material which spoils the lines, and the light in the pic is not all the best

[Belzey]

From what I am seeing I am liking it ALOT. Curvy looking beast :dance:

[Jphdg]

:woohoo:

Sounds the goods, well hopefully too!!

Wonder how the petrol tank is situated in the VE and if this tank can be fitted to older models.

Gives me a few little ideas for a new exhaust system if the VE has pipes true down each side. :idea:

Guess we are going to find out when its released.

[2NIL8]

i can see hsv designing a widebody kit for these things not bad looking pic either

[YRK]

Great work mate, this has made my day.
This is going to be one good looking road car, I love the radio aerial now on the rear of the roof like the Astra's and Vectra's and the high mount rear stop light.
Can't wait to have a new toy to play with, August can't come quick enough. :)

[chris_vysv8]

Isn't it amazing how it just says "Holden" the minute you see it? Good job on the corporate styling cues...

[JEM]

No way.

It's a saddle tank.

Great spotting rs2000.

I live just around the corner and often walk around como park.

I'd say these guys were on their way to chapel to be a part of the chap laps brigade.

Yep reflector

Hmmm VX like reflectors in the rear bar.

[nikola]

Is it just the one pic? Or are there more I can't see?
