I like that, still haven't seen a VE ute on the road. I did see a black VE R8 sedan parked on darby street this morning though.

Thanks for the pics!

The front looks as good as it does in the rest of the range but the bum still doesn't ring my bell. Atleast the darker colour masks it a little.

I wouldn't want to be the one reversing it. The rear window is tiny.

The tail lights are growing on me but I still don't know what they were thinking with the rear bumper!

I didn't like the Holden ute when I first saw it, stock version through to SS, but that looks good!

I'm sorry guys, but to me the whole VE design is so basic and could have been done by a 12yo. Reason is, I'm liking where Ford of Europe is heading with their kinetic design, the Mondeo in the flesh is so sexy to look at in comparison to the VE range and I have a feeling the new Falcon is going to be something to really admire.

Looks pretty nice!

I really like that green colour they have though. Saw an SS exactly the same as in the ad.

the black seems to hide the pig dog ugly lines of these things. I saw a silver one yesterday and couldnt help but laugh at it. but the black does look good
I still think the sedan looks hot! I even considered buying one instead of the GT cobra

That was my first thought.
Not to sure about the looks on the back yet.
Iv'e never liked the maloo 'number plate in the middle of the tailgate' tradmark.
It makes it look to busy. They're not the most atractive things, why frame it on prime realestate. : (so to speak)

Get rid of the red reflector on the tailgate and it would look the goods to me. I dig the front of the HSV VE's. To be honest, it's not that far removed from the Ford front end, particularly of the mockups of the upcoming Orion.

Yeh you're right, for some reason I immediately thought of the camry when I saw the rear of that Maloo

I still think it looks crap though...and those headlights look like they were taken straight off a BF Falcon...

Oh well, at least they can carry a decent payload

The fat plastic pig, The first vehicle in Australia to have more plastic than metal? And what's with the plastic bird bath for a hard cover? Where is the rain accumilation supposed to go when you open the hard cover in the wet?

Suprised the greenies aren't up in arms, these things must be draining the worlds plastic supplies. I thought the VL Walkinshaw was bad.
