Man, they are really doing a good job on the camo there. It's hard to see any of the lines of the car.

Looks pretty good from what I can tell. I like the look of the last vehicle the best although those wheels seem a little too small for that vehicle.

Cost me a bomb, those damned pics!

i've seen it in the flesh, more than once, and it is a big, imposing, masculine car.

that blue car, especially, is bloody sexy and sound fabulous.

Re: VE Commodore SS & SV8 Spy Pics

Is that last pic, the one with 5 spoke wheels not twin 5 spoke ones, a LWB VE? The rear window looks to have a different shape. And is the Camo decieving me or is it longer. The front end looks disproportionate but I assume that is the page curl that is making it look like that.

Yep its the LWB base Statesmen/Caprice model from what I can gather.

Oh and we are talking about the pics on www.ls1.com.au which are a better quality than the GMinsidenews ones.

Just another note while we are on Holden. HSV seem to be saying that they will build 50 coupes, with the LS7 in them, in the middle of the year. AUS$125k.

looks like you guys are getting one hell of a going away gift from the Monaro for those that can afford it.
