I can't remember a base model commodore that I have liked. There is a general blandness about them all, as they are highly conservative. The rims look too small, and the kits on them are usually ugly. But, there has always been a big market for commodore mods, and the VF will be no different. At the end of the day, it is the base model. It represents value for money compared to other large cars on the market.
OK, so what i saw yesterday was actually the silver wagon in the link within the first post. I stood there for a second wondering what on earth this car was. Front looked weird, but the rear looked like a VE. I just shrugged my shoulders and kept walking.
Now i'm cursing because 1. I now know what it is and 2. Didn't take a peek through the windows!
Also, you guys do know that it looks just like a Chevrolet Malibu right? The Malibu is rumored to be taking over from the "Commodore" when we stop making them. I guess they're making that transition easier for us by styling the last Aussie made Commodore just like the future "import Malibu with Commodore badges".
Google pictures of "chevrolet malibu" and you'll see the body shape, lights and especially rear end is extremely similar to the VF.
Looks like a epica cross Mazda 6 let's hope the hsv models and upper models like Calais etc looks better , saying that though they have done a great job on the technoligical features and interior although does look a little Holden cruzey
I think one thing is certain, it's not the prettiest car on the planet or the ugliest - the worst thing that could have happened to GM is some abortion like the AU Falcon.
