Possibly the new VE Series 2 HSV
Discussion
Yeah, it is a bit busy for me as well... looking at it a bit more... Kind of seems over the top, but not quiet in the normal aggressive way that a HSV should look.. I do like the front bumper though, cause it kind of looks like the coupe 60 version. Don't think like the nostrils though. Depends what it looks like from the front I guess.
I would have to say, that for me, you need to look in the rear vision mirror and for it to scare the shit out of you. Then I think you would have a winner. It looks like a audi with the LED lights. One thing they could do is make it look mean at night, so that when you are driving along, you know instantly what sort of car it is.

WHY....WHY..? in Gods name are they trying to copy Auds LED running lights...the worst example ever seen in automotive factory design..Holden be warned do not do it...
Cos audi sell loads of cars! People aspire to it (apparantly).
Dont know about the back. Just no follow through of lines. Dont think that will be the end result.

If I had an Audi - regardless of model, I'd turn those running lights off. Same with the new 911 - they look terrible.
YES, 
And now they have to make them in LHD 
. I asked 
for a few times to make me a HSV ( Clubsport R8 Tourer) in LHD, but they refuse 
! Why? 
It's going that good in their busines apparently; and now I 
know why GM is going down: pure arrogance 
and overpaid 
managers. Sorry for this reaction, but I cann't understand why GM doesn't put the VE on the European marked; would be a perfect new Opel/Vauxhall Omega. This car has a very good chassis 
, and is produced very properly. The reality 
will be that they will keep on sleeping 
and this very good car doesn't get the chance 
it deserves. I'll keep 
: on trying, but I'm affraid 
: I'll have to buy one of the last Pontiac G8 GXP's (or a Chevrolet CSV in Dubai) before they permanently stop 
with this brand.

I would hate to see an SMS from you peekster...
Yeah, it is a shame that they don't have the commodore in europe, would think it would sell really well.
I find it very interesting though, how Pontiac always seem to really change the look of the standard car, to what I think is a much uglier style. I would wonder whether people would like the way it is, before they change it, and whether or not they would actually sell more not doing any changes to it. It's a great product, leave it alone.
If this is the way that HSV are going, think they are not setting the standard, but rather being a follower. Wish I had some good 3d skills and send them a design of what I think a true HSV front end should look like.
