Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

from oz · 10-27-2008, 05:17 AM

As most of us know Holden always samples it's new colours on some random model, like Atomic and Crunch just before they were released. Now that Crunch has been "retired" and Holden seems to be at MY09.87 with it's updates (I'm an avid trainspotter) I thought I'd have a gander through Carpoint for any other updates/possible future changes.

Found this. The colour is called Hazard. I'm a little meh. I don't know if yellow suits the sedan. I didn't like it on the VZ sedan either.

Here's one that didn't look like it made it. Shame, I really like it. Probably thought it was too close to Tiger Mica.

I don't know if this is a new colour or the dealer is a little special though it does look slightly different to Evoke. It is called Alto Grey.

Yeah, that yellow is a bit putrid. I have to admit that I like the alto grey and that Tiger Mica II. I can see that orange as a sport wagon with sandman decals on the back

**mikmak** · 10-27-2008, 09:58 AM

How about this one?

Ship side grey (as we'd call it in the fleet

)

**mikmak** · 10-27-2008, 10:00 AM

To be honest, I kinda like it

So in the first post I pretty much slagged on the whole Hazard yellow colour. Well, it's all changed and it's because of some pretty crappy photos of a Sportwagon from Carpoint.

I'm in love!

P.S Hazard must be on its way to the showrooms officially. There are more and more samples appearing for sale.

Is it the same yellow as the Monaro? Looks awfully similar

Talk about unfulfilled potential. Where is the trispoke mags and massive rear wing for the GTS-R?

The yellow wagon kicks arse. Yellow Sedan looks crap....not your one monaroSS, I meant the standard version

MonaroSS · 12-09-2008, 12:43 AM

A little extra wheel size, a little extra paint...
