i guess i'l be the first to criticise lol. i hate the nose surroundings of the ss, and the spy pics basically ruined the surprise.

Caprice is nice but still the rear doesn't appeal to me much. Looks too much like an American/European crossbred mongrel.

Can't wait till the official press photos come out - I think Holden have done quite well in this round of new models (though it is very conservative).

Keep the updates and your opinions coming guy's.

The Calais and Caprice were nice too.

I wonder if that will hurt their Aus sales?

They look nice but I thought that they would have been "futher out there", cause the cars sorta aren't that different, but then again how different can they go?
