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.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint

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.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint

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.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint

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

Re: Trawling through Carpoint

How about this one?

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

Re: Trawling through Carpoint

To be honest, I kinda like it

Re: You have to see this! From Carpoint

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.

A VE taxi. Ew.

 

[MonaroSS]

I like Yellow........

 

[Baz]

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

 

[mikmak]

I like Yellow........

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

 

[mikmak]

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

 

[MonaroSS]

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

looks kinda familiar.....

Another new colour called Poison Ivy.

The site also mentions something about it having a test engine "4,6,8" Other than cylinder deactivation I have no idea what that means???

Booran Holden, where I got my car, seems to pick up a lot of ex-GM cars, including some colour trial vehiclas. I've seen a Pulse Red (CV8-R colour) VY SS, Morpheus VZ, a yellow VZ sedan (not HSV 6000, same colour). On the road in 2005 I've seen a metallic white with touch of green Monaro - sort of a Koolmint colour. Looked nice.

The place that makes low volume Holden plastics, like the HSV turtles and body kits and made all the Monaro and HSV fascias in Seaford, Vic, has 10,000 litres of a yucky metallic Military yellow-brown-green - think vomit mixed with baby cack. Holden ordered it and paid for it - just before they cancelled Adventra. I can't imagine any car being painted this colour, it's really awful!
