Coming through Cranbourne... it was covered in the front and rear and also
around the side "vent"

It looked like that shape that someone posted the bad CG ones of. (That
looks like a BA Falcon)

Appeared to have a really high back-end, and looked sort of "squashed" from
left to right...

The light stayed red for too long for me to be able to catch it...(was going
opp direction)...

Probably just a Mitsubishi 380 with a car bra on. They look remakably
similar.

VE is in pilot build phase, you will be seeing more and more of them
around Elizebeth and Port Melbourne.

Indeed, the worst it yet to come for 380.The VE is just the start of
the blood bath

The mighty T is pulling out all stops with its 2 large-car attack, and
sure Falcon will not just sit on its hands and watch

The 380 is finished, no market for a half done old US Galant hand me
down.Is it no wonder MD Phillips bailed as soon as he could [sinking
ship sydrome]

Mitsu wont make cars anymore here, its NISSAN all over again [Who have
done real well just being a importer] so the customer will have better
cars in the future from them.

I saw another VE? yesterday at Tooradin (i'm assuming heading back to Lang
Lang. On a longer look, it actually DOES look shaped remarkably like the
380! No joke.

No suprise there. Holden are always playing catchup.

So, what are the buying public going to decide...

Whether to buy a Mitsubishi 380, somewhat bland but not a bad front wheel
drive ride but backed by a company in it's death throes.

Or to buy a Holden VE Commodore, in a similar style to the 380 but likely
less off an cardigan car and with a secure future plus rear wheel drive?

Honestly now, which do you think the Australian public will go for?

You best have that hole dug by September boy, in time for the final nail in
the MMAL coffin.
