no, didn't ask.

the V8s sound the same as the VE.

fantale is horrible, but Regal Peacock looks good

was lucky enough to have a chance to sit in and have a good look at the VF tonight in Canberra.

interior finish and quality is so far ahead of the VE its not funny.

the quality of graphics on the dials, driver info screen and centre screen are amazing.

stupid IE10+Win8 or IE10+Win7 doesn't allow me to upload my crappy pics

Where was this? Hopefully not the dealer I bought mine at, won't be happy If so...

no it was at the national launch at the Hotel Realm, cars are not due to arrive at dealers for a couple of weeks I think

Cool. (How did you wrangle your way into that?!)

Zupps here in Brisbane are expecting first cars on their showroom floor first week in June....with one black Calais V with black leather trim to view...

its all about having (facebook) friends in the right places

very envious of the drive program the journos are having today through the snowys - even if it is wet, still some of the best roads

The first VF model to roll off the assembly line was a Calais V V8, which features a 6.0-litre V8 and six-speed automatic. Prices for the VF Calais V V8 will start at $52,990, plus $550 for prestige paint options.

Here is a video of an SSV on the assembly line...pretty cool. I wonder how long a car takes from start to finish on the production line.....

You're right, that's the standard lip spoiler.

I assume this is the "optional" wing spoiler (only pic I've seen of it):

still looks very much like a mazda from the back

Nothing wrong with that. Mazda make some of the best looking cars out there.

[super coach]

at the launch was there any talk about the options you can have. rear wing? stripes? grill high lights? wheels? colour leather? Tech pack upgrade?

So does anyone else find it strange that the VF's will hit showroom floors in the next week or so but the Holden website still says it is a Future Vehicle ?

I have ordered a Calais V with cream leather. My dealer had to send a photo of what I wanted to Holden as they did not know what the trim is called. The Calais V is fully loaded so no real accessories but for other models how are people to find out what is available on them?

It seems to be Irish to me ?

Was in the local dealership yesterday (Ralph DSilva Preston) to price up an SSV Ute and found it very bizarre that the salesman was using sheets printed off the net from a 3rd party website (can't remember which one) to price it up. Also asked if can option with 20's and the reply was "not sure".

It is very strange. I'm assuming that they are doing a last ditch effort to get rid of all the VE Stock, so perhaps its a ploy By Holden HQ to get the sales teams to sale what they have rather then push the new product?
