I like it, none of the pictures on the web really do it any justice, its a style you need to see in person.

IMO: They look more mean then before, the grill hasn’t gotten any bigger its just highlighted by the satin black finish.

Yeah – like the one from the VL Walkinshaw SS Group As – that would really finish it off wouldn’t it.

Mind you if the W-427 was to commemorate 20 years of HSV [which was started by Tom Walkinshaw] they should have used a modified VL Group A bodykit on it instead and made it come in the same unique colour – Like FPV did with the BF Cobra

Only thing missing to top off the ultra ugly look is a big boot wing. HSV have lost the plot.

The front page of TopGear AU has a great looking GS Falcon and behind it is a red HSV with a mess of a front, too many bits and pieces just messing up the look. It is a good advert for Ford as I like the twin front lights on the Falcon, (looks better than the raccoon look of the GT).

If this is what the short wheelbase n=models look like, What is the grange going to look like. That car is on the brink of design confusion and doesnt need a HSV job done on it. I like it the way it is. HSV should have just waited till VF and then created a new design for that.

My thoughts exactly.

The whole front air intake is shaped on the kinetic design from ford/FPV

Not necessarily. If that were the case then many American execs wouldnt have chauffer driven german cars.

I hope this pic shows the new accessories that you can put on the car, and not the new basic product. HSV had an awesome car to start with and then they f@cked it up. Im a loyalist and this is going too far.

Exactly – To say that HSVs are just Glorified Omegas is like saying the Audi R8 is nothing more than a Glorified Skoda.

For a start the VE Clubsport GTS Maloos and W-427 are based on SS-Vs.. whilst the Senator is based on the Calais

That HSV looks like a Xmas tree…jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

Hell thats ugly – though who cares what it looks like its only going to fall apart anyway. You should read the horror stories on the ls1 website about all the electrical gremlins, driveline problems ect. on the VE. Holden loyalists will still blindly buy it though even though the Ford FG range (particularly XR6T) is superior.

Its the Pontiac G8 bonnet, which means the hood scoops are fake. Even the yanks dont like ‘em.

Just stating the facts bud. Want me to list them all out for you?

I only ask the same questions because big mac eaters like you can’t give me answers.

Anti-Australian? Don’t know where you get that from.

Research also shows people are blindly loyal to cars from their own country too. The current HSV looks great but this one is just overdone to the extreme.

Maybe you could point out to us, in your wisdom, which drivetrain parts HSV GTS shares with Commodore Omega, Jon?

Aaaahhh go on Mr. Predictable .. just copy and paste the usual anti- Australian; Anti Holden statements that you have stored on your computers hard drive.. you know you want to.

I mean it just wouldn’t be the same without one of your uninformed/unfounded comments…. speaking of which I wonder where Tomas79 is?

AU was never this ugly – it was just 5 years too early. If they had of started with BF and progressed to the curvier AU people would have accepted that.

This thing however is just woefull.
