looks much better than the VC tribute. I like it. The VK group A is my favourite commodore looks wise, and this is a very well thought out retro styling.

Oh No!
I really like that. This and the other HDT are about the only cars that the flared look really works. The original is awesome aswell.

Favourite HDT Like this tribute version too actually - interior needs to be toned down a tad if anything |

Noice! I saw a VC tribute on the road the other day and it actually looked better in the flesh than the pics.
But THIS, is sweet... be interesting to see it in the flesh, pretty friendly camera angles.

JD would have been having a bat while writing that piece.
$77k is not bad, rather that than any HSV. Who runs HDT, is it an arm of HSV/TWR but not advertised? So many fingers in the pie over that side.

Well I think it looks wonderful. I think it is the best looking VE so far. I agree with the others on the VC copy been a little tacky.
This looks tough and I would own one in a second.

I loved the VK grp A look back in my teens when I was a non partisan enthusiast. The VE tribute looks great!

Is that $77k on top of the purchase of the SS?
