Hi guys from downunder, have you guys seen any spyshots of any Zeta vehicles yet? Can you post any pics from magazines from Oz? Just trying to find out some more inside info and draw my own conclusions on what to expect in the future.

No, Any leaks of photos just hasn't happened yet- the VE has been very secure at the moment.

It has double wishbone front - bye, bye McPhersons - and a 5-link rear IRS apparently according to an article I read from Bruce Newton who is a respected journo (oxymoron I know) over here.

Someone who has seen spy pics of VE (moderator of LS1.com.au site) says

"The front reminds me of a cross between the Vectra and the current Subaru Liberty. The rear is VERY Audi A4-esque. Pumped guards all round. The spy photos of the test mule with the VY bodyshell that were shown on this site a little while back indicated some decent changes to the suspension design to boot. "

I would say take this spy shot of the next Vectra, lengthen and widen it, give it a longer nose with front wheels further forward (Vectra is east-west front-driver), you'll have the basic profile.

Hmm double wishbone up front huh. I'm already liking that. I also like the smooth arc roof like the Audi's. Keep the spyshots comming as you folks see them. :)

This month's Motor magazine in Oz reportedly has line drawings of the VE.

I dont think Holden will be able to make the next generation Commodore as good-looking as the current V? series...

But keep an eye out for technical advancements... Im personally looking forward to a twin-turbo 3.6 V6 :)

Its a piss weak 'scoop' by Motor. Diagram put together by Motor 'after months of painstaking research and draw on a thousand snippets of information'. Doesn't look anything like the Opel Insignia (also in this Motor issue).

Double wishbone rear, MacPherson struts up front (bit mounted differently).
Front looks like a smoothed over VY nose. Petrol tank relocated forward, twin/quad pipes out the back.
