VF Commodore revealed - Official details and pics from post #216 onwards

[Plenty]

What colour was that reveal car? It certainly didn't look like the normal Nitrate silver, it had a nice steel blue sort of colour on it.

Reveal car is a new colour called "Prussian Steel"

On a photo showing the side of the passenger seat it looks like the Calais V is back to full power adjusted passenger seat and I noticed an extra switch, besides the two normal switches we are familiar with. I suspect Holden may finally have powered lumber support.

Very funny Mr GM not showing us the SS ,considering most of us here have been hanging out to see it, you bastard.!!!!
Very impressed with the Calais V interior, I was not expecting it to look that good, well done guys.
Come on we know you are watching this forum to see what the reactions are, so be nice and give us some pics of the SS........................please.

Yeah, I cant wait to see the Ute and the SS. Be interesting to see what they have done to the (Statesman - yeah I know its not called that anymore) Caprice as well

[Plenty]

Another thing i would like to know is if they have finally gone to split fold rear seats or whether they have retained the quite annoying ski hatch?

Apparently the ute and wagon retain the same rear end, the Caprice gets minor exterior updates with the updated interior.

That will just look really weird and out of shape if they have the same rear end.

OK, so i think the front looks quite good, don't like the rear much, but the interior looks terrific. For me, I'm curious as to boot capacity, and what the lower spec models will be like.

Overall I like it, but is there a reason for the circa 1979 door locks ?, particularly when the lock / unlock button is up near the door handle.

I hope they don't end up being in the natural place to rest your arm.

Bit worried about the fitment where the grey arm meets the light colour.

Also, I like having the door lock / unlock in the centre where my wife can reach it...

Nice photoshop but they've got the sheet metal all wrong (check the guards)

These were from Motor or Wheels magazine from quite a while ago, they are quite good considering, they even got the slim line faux vents on the sides, headlight shape and the very FG MKII trapezoidal front grill looks similar to the 'sports' pics i posted earlier.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the aerial. Why not an incorporated or a shark fin. Or stub aerial. The long aerial just looks a little cheap on the vf now.

It has been raised. I know from reading the book Holden published on the birth of the VE that they really, really pride themselves on radio reception quality across all of Australia rather than just catering for those in built up areas. I can only assume it remains for a reason like that
