Subtle yet elegant and strong looking. Very nice.

I think it's just it's shape that most like, Like myself there is always something nice looking about it. Maybe it's cause it's the last of the cars with nice curves, Now we are moveing to ruler cuts straight lines?.
Would loved to have seen a front pic and see what they did there. VX Grill and Scoops would look allright

If i ever had a VT-VX i would try them scoops out might look ok what you guys think?

definite vette cues. i don't like the spoiler, i think it spoils the look a bit, but the design needs a spoiler to fininsh the look. maybe someone should chop a new one on.

last year i was at eastern creek for the last round of the V8s and i saw a VY2 maloo with a VZ Monaro bonnet and grille and front bumper and those side vents and i thinkn it had a HBD canopy as well. it looked alright, nothing to flash

i dunno why you'd bother forking out for a maloo, then stick normal holden front on it

Negative on the wing and the Chrysler Crossfire-esque vent. Other than that, I'd hit it.
