Posted 02/07/04 11:17 AM Posted 02/07/04 11:17 AM I predict that the VZ will be an absolute sales success and Ford are going to have their butt's kicked because they haven't done enough to capitalise on the BA.l predict that your prediction is spot on, the next Late model camira is going to wipe the floor with the BA2 IMO. Ford come out with a good car and closed the gap. they have since let quality slip and failed to market the BA effectivley, although that's been their weakness for years. l reckon the next HSV models, when they gain the LS2, are going to be awesome. Jeez.............. I hope you guys are wrong, but my gut feeling is you're going to be right! Mark.

I read this in either wheel, motor, or zoom but I cant remember which one and be buggered if I want to go searching for the article.

Expensive Daewoo will be closed for 2 weeks while they change everything for the new model, then they will start pumping out the VZ Commodores.I doubt Expensive Daewoo would close down a production line for 2 weeks to get ready for the new model. I remember reading an article and seeing pictures of a BA xr6 getting built on the production line. It was the only BA in sight and the AU's were surrounding it. But I could be wrong. Anyways I recon that the new front is better than the existing, but I'd have to see it in the flesh to decide really. But those side "z3" BMW wannabe vent's are a little out of place I recon. In regards to the arse end, seems that Expensive Daewoo still love the magna's arse. In Saying that, the front looks out of place, concidering the rest of the car hardly has any real defining lines. Unbalanced mess really.

Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 23y 4m 21d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 04/07/04 01:23 AM Posted 04/07/04 01:23 AM It is an unbalanced mess. The roof and middle section of the car is soft and rounded but the front and tail and square and hard. There is no balance between the roof and the rest of the car. It looks out of place. The roof should have been squared up a bit to make it more balanced.
Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Legacy Donating Member 2,657 Member For: 23y 6m 6d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 05/07/04 03:03 AM Posted 05/07/04 03:03 AM Side on it looks a lot like the BA, front a bit like the BA, back view....typical Holden. And because of hat yes....it does look unbalanced.That's why I reckon the SS or HSV will have a bonnet bulge.
