    I wish they would release a car based off the Torana. That looked like such a fresh car... If those VE "chops" in one of the recent "Wheels" magazines are anything to go off, I'm actually pretty excited to see what the VE will look like, as from memory it looked pretty closely linked to the Torana concept also...

    Yeh the VE is closely linked to the Torana in terms of it's aesthetic design, as the Torana was put out there to assess public reaction to the future of Holden design, hinting at what the all new VE will look like.

    Holden are certainly doing some cost cutting!

    The monaro is gone, I highly doubt they will put the torana into production let alone the turbo V6 (which I would buy in an instant) to compete with fords animal. I was never really into ford, but holden got complacent because they were on top for so long and thought they were untouchable. They didn't realise that Ford and other manufactures had lifted there game in a big way. Now Holdens paying for there ignorance.

    The ZC Vectra would have been a huge success if Holden had negotiated the pricing with Opel better than they did. This car was marked from day one becuase of this. First impressions are hard to change.

    The Commodore, these not even 1 decent colour in the range. The "new" 6.0L V8 is using technology from the 1950's. Yeah it might have throttle control and a few other bits but it's still a single cam push rod for god sake.

    Don't get me wrong, I am a Holden man, but they've had the day for now

    The reason it is still push rod and not DOHC like Holden wanted to build for VT is that a 6.0L 90 degree V8 with DOHC would not fit in half the cars that it would be designed for. TOD and Variable inlet and exhaust cams will be in the LS2 for VE...

    no more vectras

    At the moment the vectra is parked in the garage as I use the CDX Astra company car. Our company is planning on changing the fleet to Vivas (the base model , with no ABS). Holden have lost me as a customer if they expect me to buy their re-badged Korean rubbish. As for the company Viva, the fleet manger has an argument on his hands at the moment.
