That turned out to be a mistake. As it turns out that's Chinese market W-car Buick.

Oh, and one more thing.

Word is it's the Holden "VB" not the "VE".

Seems everyone and their brother are bagging a particular sedan, both in LHD & RHD. You'll probally see it in your choice of car rag soon.

Don't let the cammos or strange paint schemes fool you. It's actually a pretty nice looking car.
Way too much cammo on the ones so far. Might as well be a styrofoam box on wheels.

Better pics are on the way.

VE won't be at Sydney Show. they'll still have a year or VY to sell, and there's a fairly big used car value correction going on here that'll have them scared for a while.

GM NA has plundered every hollow log inside Holden and the cash is dry. don't expect any more concepts, either.

That's the problem with getting noticed by the American bosses ... they take all the best things, and then when things start to go badly, they walk away and say "look after yourself" ...

You know, this is the 1st sign that a company is headed into the toilet.

1. Drain all money from successful subsidieries and divisions.

2. Sell off subsidieries, divisions & holdings.

3.Stop research and development.

4. Be bought out by another company or investment firm because the company is worth is far cheaper than the assets it holds.

Sounds like the makings of another thread.

Hey, knock that off. We don't need any of that coming out of you! You'll get everyone here all worked up and then the world will be ending before next week.
