Lights are very Kia which is not necessarily a bad thing as they are getting rave reviews in regards to styling. The new Territory takes similar styling cues.

Would like to see what we will end up with. Holden typically take the more modest route so I would not expect anything too wild. While its often a disapointment it yields a mature product which going by the VE lasts the lifespan of the model without going out off fashion too quick which is good.

Some interesting facts on the new VF,

From what I am told the new VF is expected to be released September 2012 or early 2013, the engine size for the V6 will be smaller than the current VE and produce more power and better fuel economy, the V8 will be smaller than 6.0lt and also produce more power than the current VE/WM Standard V8.

The interesting point will be the V8 HSV, entry level power will be 350kW as standard.

The other interesting thing will be the GMLan is being scrapped and the electronics will be the same system as the BMW and Merc's, can't remember what it's called

The pictures floating around are not correct, it will have a new body design, and the corvette was mentioned, so I guess it will look a little like that.

Don't shoot the messenger if I get it wrong, it is what I was told today.

Considering the current E3 is at 325kw, probably just a tinkle with the tune.

Not really, they already have a production line to build the LSA

Even though it was designed for FWD it has been well adapted to the current model cadillac in RWD

350 FWKW will be understating what they will pump out stock, even if they do go smaller such as the 5.5 litre GEN V with direct injection

Also the 2011 Camaro has an auto only L99 - 6.2 litre with DOD with 298 FWKW

The VF should get that or the 5.5 litre direct injected GEN V

Good point, but if they did go S/C to reach these numbers, id be interested to see how much they cost, say compared to the current Ford GT.

Surprised no ones mentioned the current Wheels and Motor mags yet..

I was surprised that it has taken this long for these pictures from Wheels and Motor to show up here.

Unfortunately I guess it is because interest in the Commodore is diminishing by the day. Not long ago there would be a frenzy on even the smallest bit of information on a new model Commodore.

[Evman]

I'd be more inclined to put it down to fewer and fewer people reading Wheels and Motor. Are these ones worth the read?

Depends on how much time you've got to kill at Woolies..

When it is an actual spy shot and not just some pimply kid's idea of what it SHOULD look like then Ill be interested

[steve_t]

Does anyone else think the Motor CGI looks like an Altezza/Lexus?

For the record - this is what wheels magazine said the VE II would look like:
