GTS looks like a bloated Camry[/QUOTE]
The sad thing is that from dead back on, cruising behind the VF commodore it actually looks really good, like a proper new design. But as soon as you catch a side angle glimpse of one, there's the bloated overweight VE looking at you yet again.
Whoevers idea it was to make a family sedan weigh 1.8 tonne and get fatter, their smart idea failed.
What was wrong with sedans sized like the EA-EL falcon or VN-VS commodore?? too light, they didn't chew up enough petrochemicals and materials including tyres, brake pads, etc, for the global corporate parts manufacturers..... that's what was wrong with them.
Short term thinking.... only lasts short term.
