For those wondering, Alto Grey vs Prussian Steel. There's a small war going on between Holden guys as to which is better.

Because people have varying opinions, pointless considering alto grey is a VE colour and Prussian steel a vf colour and there is nothing you can do. Myself, I wish they didn't change the colour as I had two alto grey ve's but cause of the change went with fantale orange with my vf.

One thing I do know is the new Falcon front is going to make any such argument irrelevant in a few months time,

If I was a Holden boy I'd be lamenting that the VE looks better imho.

No intention of buying one.

Ended up getting a Calais V8 sat nav, sunroof, leather etc demo, tint, mats,5 year warranty, 5 year road side, 3 year fixed ($185) servicing, 52K on the road
Nice car. The FG was perfect, tuned, trans cooler etc etc but apart from missing this forum, I love the V8.

Mike I thought of that but while I may have less rwkw, 260 fwkw will do me for now. While the new Ford is getting closer it may be some time before I can get an immaculate demo with 5 years warranty, satnav, sunroof etc etc. at 52K on the road. A bird in the hand type of thing.

Congrats on the purchase I like that Prussian steel colour great car the VF inside doesn't look like your in a commodore that's for sure if you waited for the XR8 you'll probably get a new front bar with headlights and a new rear bar and arrhh that's about it oh and the GT motor hope they prove me wrong anyhow great buy
