The front spoiler treatment where the driving lights reside looks better than the current set up......

Looks OK to me........I like the VE shape. In all honesty I think the racoon eyes on the proposed ORION FPV cars looks overcooked........

FLAME SUIT ON..........

But its better to be overcooked than undercooked. The Orion CGIs are just like a well cooked steak. No blood oozing from these babies, they will be hunting for blood.

I think the VE looks bad overall. The only model that looks decent is the Clubsport.

When Orion gets released, if the media and general public don't start thinking how old the VE looks and how much more modern the Orion is, then I will know that we live in a biased country.

Totally agree with you there. I parked directly in front of a ve omega today, nose to nose. My god, those wheel arch flares really are over the top.

I think the bonnet would be popular as a retro-fit to other VE Commodores, similar to VZ Monaro bonnets on Commodores and GT/XR8 bonnets on sixes (even AUs!)

Check out the VE/HSV Wagons and Utes, they would have to be the worst looking cars around, I think they're trying to capitalise on the relative success of the 300C. I would laugh so hard if it actually looks like that.

The only decent looking ve hsv's are the grange and senator,the front end's on the gts,clubbie etc are hideous and that thing if it is the real deal takes uglyness to a new level.

I dont mind it, looks quite good but i hate those wheels they look similar to the VZ monaro wheels which i also dislike. Bonnet vents remind me of XB ones very retro and not to bad looking. The wagon looks kool to like and Audi RS6 but minus some power

I reckon that looks superior to the current HSV range, but I still think the Orion 'leaks' look better.

i wouldn't, the VE as a whole is ugly, that GTS looks worse then the currant GTS. I will admit that the HSV wagon looks sweet, so do the VE supercars...
