At the end of the day, the VF won't be the saviour that Holden hope it will be. Sure, sales will increase, but nowhere near the levels that Holden think or want.
My first thought was it looks like a Mazda 3 too and at the end of the day the sheep will still buy their Holdens no matter what.

I want to like it but I can't. Although the VE sometimes looks plain, it's always had that chunky, tough look about it. The VF is looking less tough and more like a euro rip off.

i think it looks subtle, much like the FG does, doesn't really stand out. I think some of you guys that are saying it looks to subtle need to look at the FG XR range, it also doesnt stand out at all.

It looks way too cheap. And don't get me started on those dumb fender vents that aren't actually vents. Looks tacky as hell.
