    ^^Haha true!^^
    Although pics would most likely cost me my job, so I'm gonna have to leave you hanging.

    But to describe it; It's much the same as the VE, I've only seen a SS, the front airdam is larger and more sharper, the rectangles were the spotlights sit are larger and higher and the little 'wings' below these are more promanent and sharper angles. They also look like they are positioned lower, but this could be just because the holes are higher.
    I only got a quick look, so not a detailed comparrison, but don't expect a big change.

    Thanks daiflu, sounds subtle like usual changes from previous models...

    Sounds about right though since the VE was a totally new ground up build, you would expect the main architecture and shape to remain the same for quite some time and at least 3 or 4 model upgrades.

    Hope the VF fixes the horrendous quality issues from the VE, the 100s of stories i've heard from VE owners makes me so disappointed to be a Holden supporter!!

    Daiflu does the SS still have 5 spoke wheels?
    Are there any dash changes?
    In your opinion does the small changes to VF make it look better than VE?
    Any more info would be appreciatted.

    It looked better than the VE, but that could be because it's different.

    I think the engineering changes will be more important than the styling changes.

    Even changing the way something looks usually requires plenty of engineering work Click here to enlarge
