all i can see is Holden and Ford are going down completely different styling paths...i dunno but it could be for the better....heres some pics of where i reckon Ford and holden are going, with the 427 and Fusion for Ford and the Insignia for Holden

The chevolet and ignus look similar in being smooth.
The falcon would be cool if it followed 427 and fusion style almost retro if you ask me it's square and smoothed of with nice lines, very cool, that could make a GT-HO look sweet.

Don't know how that concept SS could influence VE, It looks like a giant turd on wheels:). It's just so not what this country is about a car like that would look like elton john playing AFL or NRL weird gay lol :D

Sorry, I'm a stupid american. What is HSV? I saw Holden mentioned on their website. But, I notice Holden has a different website. Is HSV owned by Holden? Either way, I like their cars. How much would that club sport cost you guys in Australian currency?
Holy cripe! The GTO Holden is selling in Australia is going for 77000 (about 50000 US)??? Why the heck did they rebadge it as a Pontiac over here and sell it for 32000 US?

HSV is the performance arm of holden. its a bit like AMG, or bmws M division, except slightly more seperate than M people.
the clubsport is around $60,000AU and for that you get 297kw in the VZ :)

Great, thanks for the info all! They sound very cool, too bad America has so many restrictions on cars, like they are going to single handedly save the o-zone.
