Exclusive New Spy Photos for the VE

ltd · 27-10-2005, 09:13 AM

A friend who works for Holden has just sent me these exclusive photo's of the VE finally out from under wraps. I must give everyone a warning though, don't tell anyone because it's a secret so SHHHHHHH.

Ahhh, I see Holden is going back to pre 2000 retro styling for it's VE. Good luck to them hehehe.

VilkasBAMIIXR6T · 27-10-2005, 09:19 AM

I can see that Holden have not sacked any of their clandestine marketing types. The cover of putting a different brand vehicle on the rego plate was pure skill. No one will ever know.

:eclipsee_

Wow this whole Holden <> Korea thing certainly isn't getting old. Really.

ADSXR8 · 27-10-2005, 09:27 AM

Does anybody want to post these on LS1?

Um, just a thought. Why is this Ford Forum so full of Holden fans?
Doesn't Holden have their own forums to push their barrows in?

This is designed as a light hearted joke to upset the overly sensitive fans, but I guess you missed it. My bad

Well maybe its because the Holden fans that are on here including myself like both brands and could'nt give a f**k about what badge a car wears.

Also keeping in mind that they show respect at the brand that the forum is directed at which is something that HSV RULES did not do thus thats why he got banned.

Just like that Rick69 bloke who kept stirring up the Holden vs Ford sh*t.

Ya know, I often think the best Aussie car ever would have the chassis of the BF Falcon, the LS1 engine and ZF 6-speed auto... with the car to be assembled by Toyota.

What's this got to do with the topic? Nothing really, just want to highlight how open minded some of us can be.

What VY18s had suggested in your quote had more to do with open mindedness and standards of behavior than any wish-list hybrid car.
he offered no cries of bias or bullying and a respect that he was in a site primarily aimed at a particular make of car, all good stuff. He is entiled to prefer other vehicles if he so chooses

You will note elsewhere of posts bemoaning the amount of non ford content that appears. I care little what happens on others sites but just a scan of the forum post titles shows this site to be far from an insular Ford haven where no other thoughts are allowed.

Those constantly wailing of open mindedness may be the ones with the problem, and it is a little insulting to hear, by both members and moderators of this forum.

As is clearly evident transgressors are asked to desist and do have action taken against them if they continue to insult or create disharmony.

A lot of effort is made to ensure that no one is persecuted for a non Ford comment, it would be better that complaints of narrow mindedness, are directed to the team of mods and admins should you feel a complaint is necessary. Constant comment of self righteousness or implied bias by other can only create an adversarial environment.

not to sure about how the will be LS1 trying to carry the weight of the BF. The LS1 definately is a nice bit of gear, but in a car around 200kgs lighter gives it a bit of a head start. but id agree with it being assembled by toyota, would certainly keep the build finish up

You know what... I've just read every post you have ever made on this forums and you have the distinct classification of a Troll and a moron. Go back to your knuckle dragging friends and tell them how much of a man you are caue you wont be saying anything more on here... goodbye.

**Polyal** · 27-10-2005, 09:44 AM

its not the content, its the fact that the joke is now old...time to think a little harder thats all

SunDrifter · 27-10-2005, 10:00 AM

Whats the joke here?

Holden is importing korean cars and rebadged as holdens. People will buy them because the ads say that holden is the great australian car company.

You see, my thinking is that people are idiots, and thus need constant reminding that their precious new holden is nothing more then the korean import that even slightly discerning buyers turn their noses up at.

Is this any different to Ford's 80s Lasers & Meteor;, Holdens 80s Barinas, 70s Geminis...

Incredibly different as the donar cars for the Laser (Mazda in this case) sold very well here and were considered as upper market vehicles over the Ford's even though they eventually came from the same factory, while the Daewoo's were pulled from this country as the marketing case couldn't be justified...the sad thing is putting a Holden badge on slightly stylistically-tweaked cars will probably be a sales winner if not on price alone.

To throw back at Mackenzie (Holden retired head of Marketing) his comments on the updated AUII "a pig with lipstick is still a pig" then a Daewoo with an Australian tatoo is graffiti on a wheel barrow. (I hereby trademark this quote)..and if you take offence then I'm really joking and if you're in fits of laughter enjoy the freeby.

Your right but I'd go futhur and say holden hasn't been Australian for a while.

You can cure ignorance, but stupid is forever.

Nice work there Casper, good ridance to another of the aforementioned idiots. (and a teenybopper holden man by the sound of it).
