3. Euro looking VE = bad because it is a Holden. I don't care what it looks like really.

How many of you who hate it, still like the BA? Hmm? Well if that is you, then you are a brand bigot and there is NOTHING about the styling that is in your criteria. You couldn't care if it looked like a molested ape or an upended bar fridge, if it doesn't have a Ford badge then it is crap. You people are the Blue Oval equivalent of the VN P plate driving, Street Commodores buying, knuckle-dragging society.

No offense intended, but you might be reading a bit too much into the comments made by myself and others who don't like the look of it.

BA, yes, I like it, I can see an evolution from the AU to the BA and to me the BA looks classy.

Focus, yes I like it, although having said that I prefer the 'old' Focus to the new one.

"Euro looking VE", no, I don't like it. Having said that, it's not because it's a Holden, it wouldn't matter to me what brand it is, if I was told that was the new Falcon, I would have the same reaction. That styling just doesn't appeal to me, simple as that.

It's a subjective thing, like the AU Falcon, S14 Silvias, or recent Magnas, some people will hate the styling, some people will love it. If I thought the new Commodore looked good, I would be the first to say so, and we'll wait and see what it looks like "in the flesh" so to speak before we all know for sure what our opinions are of it.
