VE Commodore / WM Statesman and Caprice

Hailed as Wheels Car of Year 2006, Holden’s award-winning VE Commodore program represents the company’s largest ever vehicle development program.

The VE Commodore has more power, torque and refinement than any previous Holden sedan range. It was described by Holden’s Executive Director of Engineering, Tony Hyde, as “the car we always wanted to build”.

A strong focus was placed on active and passive safety with features such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) now standard on all models.

The Holden stand will feature a range of VE Commodores including the SV6, SS V-Series, Calais V-Series, the special edition Commodore V-Series and the introduction of a brand new colour, Morpheous.

The top-of-the-range WM Statesman and Caprice models are also on show, offering more differentiation from their short wheelbase siblings than ever before.

Major aspects of the interior design, including the instrument pad, cluster, centre console, seating, door trims, fabrics and finishes are exclusive.

Detail highlights include signature LED repeater lamps in the fender vents, striking LED tail lamps and bright chrome accents. The jewelled headlamp design is also unique.














That color is awesome and so are the headlights

 

Looks pretty nice. I love the color, reminds me of the bright purple metallic on the 1998 FBodies...

 

headlights along with the hood angling down right where it does it 100% copied from BMW

 

Kinda what I thought too. It looks old before it even gets here.....

 

I think it looks hot.

I want one.

But probably not in purple.

 

there is some BMWness to it, to be sure, but one thing I've noticed about sedans is that there is a lot less room for creative design, and therefore, originality... than with a coupe.

At some point they ALL start too look the same.

Especially the sub-class of sedans that look "good."

 

Hmm don't mind that purple, wait to see one in the metal first.
