Inspected a Black 3500S closely (sat in it) – very very nice – I thought I would hate the red interior but in fact its very classy terracotta and grey – the dark grey wheels look better than the silver ones on the 3500sl. It looks very hunkered down – and tight (the smaller size is perfect – the Holden looks huge by comparison) -this looks like a sports sedan however good or bad it is. I would have preferred less silver frost (standard Aurion) but it still likes fine – nice first try TRD

I just happen to be an engineer for REX aviation and my nice paypocket isn’t interfered with by the climate in the slightest. A life to me isn’t slapping concrete on bricks or nailing your finger to beams. Gee, i hope you don’t break any tiles either. I suppose the most exciting thing for you is waiting for Josie to arrive in the pie fan with your picture magazine. Yeah, that’s a real… get real, FREAK.

ROBERTO, i have no clue what you are on about or even trying to suggest. To me and many and others sitting next to me looking at these pictures, it is a appealing car to the eye. I like it and most certainly would like test drive one with any given oppurtunity. It will not appeal to everyone and tell me what car ever does or has.

This first attempt from TRD here downunder is a respectful one at the least. I assume some of you online chatters really have no life beyond the net and probably don’t even test drive differant cars as suggested.

What is it with Toyota, they seem to bug, annoy and make many Holden, Ford chimps very nervous at the wink of the eye.

7. THIS CAR WHILST NICE IS A PISS POOR EFFORT… flare guards over wheels a bit (these look sporty). Isn’t it funny that the Kombidore has them all the way down to the base model, yet the sporty TRD Aurion does NOT and this would help tone down the slab side like earlier Camry’s (second last model) and hint of Magna some 20yrs ago??? The flares would be done in metal and size could be worked out so not too big on car and to blend in nicely with overall design theme.

FAIRDINKUM are you people for real, the same people complain of WRX and we come to this and ????. To vastly ramp up the style and tone off the Camry / Aurion look it needs to go further!!!!!!! FACT

PROBLEM AREAS HAVEN’T ADDRESSED –

1. grille way too traditional and does not look aggressive enough on grille (this looks too bland and change here would lift the style but it has to look correct). Bottom of front bumper is too much detail and curves and it looks like Hyundai or former Daewoo did this area! Back is nice and hopefully the rear tailights are LED and diamond look bright as

2. headlights should be blacked out surrounding silver actual light like in second last model Astra and earlier Mazda 6’s

3. around lower driving lights there should be horizontal grille type vents (from actual light facing inwards

4. sides of car are virtually same as last model and are too predictably slab sided

5. bonnet should have a raised crease down the middle

6. front guards should have aesthetic cooling slots located behind wheel (Tiburon and Kombidore)

If Holden wishes to attempt to elevate it’s own standing and advertise that the new VE range is capable of challenging the world’s very best then that is exactly how they will be judged upon.

HSV and FPV (particularily HSV) has never been shy to compare it’s offerings to much more exclusive offerings and when the IS-F lands on our shores next year then i’ll be waiting the showdown

Like i’ve said on many occassions to date… if that’s the way Holden choses to advertise then that’s the way the public will pass judgement. Don’t get weak on me and come up with excuses.

Be sure to answer this… if Lexus, Mercedez Benz, BMW, Audi etc are in differant classes (as you say – and they are)then WHY DOES HOLDEN PERSIST TO BE COMPARED TO THEM and then people like yourself try to avoid such confrontations when it happens.

Why anyone would even consider comparing these cars is beyond me.

—————————————————

Because they have more class, quality and refinement than HSV cars. No matter how far HSV goes, they definitely cannot match cars like the M5 on these qualities. If HSV priced their vehicles like an M5, I’d like to see how well they’d sell.

Granted, you’re paying a lot more for a BMW, Mercedes or a Lexus of equivalent performance, and you’re probably not getting as much extra as you pay extra, but I don’t see why someone wouldn’t consider such a car.
