So will Holden be changing anything mechanically with the VF as compared to the VE?

Made for a cheap upgrade for VF... Down to the left over Epica spare parts inventory... LOL.
That headlight is near identical. VF will be released early now due to V8 supercar testing... Early to mid Feb apparently. |

Honestly I think that most of the time, anyone who buys a commodore is buying a commodore for the sake of buying a commodore.
every commodore ute, sedan, wagon, HSV model and also monaro drivers all have a similar motive and that is that someone they know has a commodore

Since then the only things they have been able to do is sack staff, and watch their supplier chain go belly up from lack of orders. Oh and Prodrive walk out the door. I don't any of that was due to some super secret formula Ford thought up for making money from less and less. It was and is simple economics. |

Ford themselves actually haven't said anything about higher profit through lower numbers since they were selling over 2000 a month.

Because it's a Falcon not a Commodore
ahahaha well I bought my Fairmont because it feels a lot better to drive. My first car was a VS commodore and that thing was certainly reliable, but honestly the commodore culture turned me off. Commodores are for sheep

Supplier chains that Holden and Toyota use...oh, they have collapsed because of Ford... Pro drive, a British company, where Europe is featuring a economic collapse...A company that is putting there money into european racing devolpments, a company that is seperate to Ford, that only had a stake in FPV? Fords fault? I thought the Myan calander was the only thing misunderstood today... Are you Joshua Dowling?
