VE Commodore / Zeta description

There is a thread going on www.ls1.com.au about photo's of the new VE commodore.

As per quote the description of the car compared to the current V-Body.

Quote:

flatter in height, wider, and pumped guards, by the look of the photo, the right wheels and you should get 310's on the rear.

The thread also mentions there is some AutoCAD drawings floating around the internet of the VE/Zeta platform.

Quote:

There were some CAD screenshots that were captured by an (ex)employee of the design dept. They didn't make it to the forum as because they were sourced directly from within Holden computer systems, they represented intellectual property theft and would have seen the forum shutdown and sued if posted. I will say that it did look good though

Full thread can be read here..

I've seen pics of it.

Think of the Torana concept, but bigger and you just about nailed it.

The car has been described as looking like an Opel Vectra, just bigger.

That's not good the Torana suffers from the same rear wheel well problem the GTO does, the 1 thing I most hate about the GTO.

Picky picky picky.

I'm being very general in my description. If you have seen the Torana concept, the new Commodore looks alot like it. I didn't pay attention to rear wheel well proportions or anything, so maybe you'll be happier if you waited or saw it in person.
