Re: 2008 HDT VE Commodore

Ahaha...Very Beretta!! That rear spoiler looks liek the one that was on the "Euro" or Z34 editions!
The car looks cool, but the wheels...reminds me of the big gauty rims on a Donk or something.

BTW...Beretta is 2dr...Corsica is 4dr

Re: 2008 HDT VE Commodore

That red car is not a Beretta. It is a Corsica with some mods. Yes, same platform...Slightly different styling. Forgot to mention that the Beretta was a coupe.

I am not trying to make the Holden and the Beretta look the same; they just do to an extent. See pics I added.

The wheels either look like donks or Bonneville Salt Flats' specials.

Re: 2008 HDT VE Commodore

For our American friends who are wondering what FWD car the older Commodore looks like....

Here is a larger side shot to show how set back the cabin is, as one would expect on a proper RWD car which, besides a V8, also could take a straight inline 3.3 six cylinder engine under the hood.

Re: 2008 HDT VE Commodore

Thanks for the pic, MonaroSS.

If I am not mistaken, is that Southern California in that pic? Ha, ha! With the red tile roofs and mountains/ hills, not to mention all that sun, it really could pass as. I guess it makes sense geography-wise.

Re: 2008 HDT VE Commodore

You're all insane!!!

I'm sorry but that looks foul!

I hate loads of plastic add-ons and that helipad on the back that they may call the rear wing *shudder*

Not just the color, the rear skirt doesn't match in style or form with the lower skirt around the rest of the car.

That 'helipad' looks WAYYY better than this 'shopping cart handle'
