Front looks very very much like the BA, but the *** is way too big, specially on the stato.

Certainly looks different. The LWB looks a bit strange if you ask me.
Good to see some new shots. Is it just me, or does it look a lot like the new Toyota Aurion in the front end? From the pictures/photo shops etc I have seen, it looks similar, but it could be the angle.  And I have been wrong before!

Meh, lose the tacky spoiler and its not bad looking. I'd still rather a BF. The pic must be taken at a wierd angle though. The front end looks small and the rear end looks huge.
Does the car come with a then Sir Mix-a-lot single "I like big butts"?

The rack on the front fairly flat screen does not match the more upright bubble looking back screen. Or could just be the way the shots are taken....

The back of the LWB model reminds myself of the AU Fairlane with that strip across the bottom of the bootlid and how it blends into the reversing lights. The end almost needs another set of wheels at the corners to prop up that overhang. Side profile (especially the glasshouse) looks similar to an Audi A8, while the bottom of the A-pillar looks similar to current Vectra.
The SS? front bar looks the same as the Monaro's and SSX Commodore hatch concept - nothing new there. I do like the flared guards, it gives the car a nice stance. 5-Series kink in the C-pillar looks good too. Shots are not of the best quality - but who cares and credit goes to the person that managed to get them. |

That first one looks like a Sportivo and that rear wing is overkill!

Looks very Opel the SS, not a bad look to it
Stato looks a bit mismatched between the rear end size and the front roof section |

The shopping trolley wing on a short boot looks wrong.

These pictures make the car look terrible, especially the pic taken from above the SS, the proportions really look wrong. The design doesn't seem to flow nicely at all.
Can't be as ugly as this in the metal. |

Yeah, it looks munted and out of proportion.

Just go to the carpoint website then look at their article.
Cars are uninspiring so far. |

Long Wheel Base model looks real nice. Seems to have a nice shape about it.
Roofline does resemble the Chrysler and rear is all Audi. Can only imagine what a "Grange" would look like. The SS I'm still not sure. The colour white doesn't do it justice. Even though new shape & design it still reminds me of the VZ. Not sure what it is but it still looks like an old design to me. Doesn't seem to be anything new and ground breaking. They need a groundbreaking model like the AU Falcon. That will kick Ford along just nicely thankyou.! |

That SS pic is quite surprising. Not really much of a change over the VZ.
Just the headlights have gone a bit more Falconish and the whole thing is smoothed over a bit. The XR8 still looks tougher. |
