New VE (Zeta) spy pics








Taken from this thread http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...6&page=1&pp=40. They are small/low quality because they were taken with a mobile phone camera. No up close shots as the photographer didn't want the Holden techs laying the smack down on him.

Taken at a servo in the middle of nowhere in queensland. Some shots from the back are of the LWB model (first 4), the others are of an SS (last 2). The SS wouldn't start when they tried to leave......

Re: New VE spy pics

And after this we have another 2 pics!




Both taken from here http://forum.streetcommodores.com.au....php?t=8468098.

I'm leaving them full sive so you can see these pics in full detail. It is believed that 200+ VE (Zeta) cars will be out on evaluation before June! So expect lots more pics!!

Re: New VE spy pics

Those last 2 pics do show quite a bit of detail, like the front fender and a little more of the window shapes. Keep up the good work.

Re: New VE spy pics

Very Audi-like, with a little Honda thrown in on the front end. I've spoken with someone who saw the car, and he said it looks better in the flesh than some of the renderings (BTW, visit http://www.photoshopedup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7032 for larger versions of the drive.com.au ones).

Of course, we're getting elements of the chassis, not so much the exterior styling (unless the Buick ends up being a clone of the Statesman...)

A few notes from the guys at ls1.com.au are on end.

Re: New VE spy pics

More pics! this time taken from here. http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=54139

They are taken with a camera phone so resolution is low but we get the first look at parts of the interior!

This is not the comprehensive list of pics. For all of the pics and info on the car please see the thread above!

No undercar pics as they came out blurred

The front seats remind me of classic Camaro "strato buckets"

3 more pics this time taken by a newspaper photographer.

This interesting bit is that it has dual exhausts but it is suppost to have a front scoop. According to insiders no V8 cars will have a scoop, but no V6 cars will have dual exhausts. So the rumour is this is a V6-TT. I can't see the scoop tho, so the newspaper people might be smoking something......

Re: New VE spy pics

I see a lot of similarity between the CTS spy shots and this new crop of VE shots. A-pillar, door pulls, front door size. The major difference I see is the C pillar shape.

So I have to ask how close is VE to Sigma?
