VF

[HK1837]

I drove my first VF today, a blue SV6 sedan with 700kM on it.

In the last 5 years or si i'd driven VE SV6 and Calais, lots of Camrys and BF XR6 and G6E.

Until now only the G6E I could say was as good a car as my V2 CV8.

I was hugely surprised how good the VF is. The driveline was nice, engine revved out a bit too much for me but the V8 would fix that. Gearbox, steering, suspension and seating is all very good.

So for the first time since the V2 I am impressed with a Holden or Commodore. So much so if it wasn't for the IRS i'd consider an SS ute.

I am very lucky to have a VF Calais V Station Wagon as a work car. Its the best Holden I have driven, hands down. I previously had the VE Calais V and this one blows that away in every area, and its ~$9k cheaper than the previous model.

Have you still got the CV8? or did you let it go?

The Peacock Green on the VF is an awesome colour.

Is that the really dark one? I see an old guy at my local shops regularly with a VF Ute in that dark green. Agree, it looks awesome. I was eyeing it off wondering if it would look best on my Hq Coupe or HZ wagon. I reckon the sill trims and coffin racks on the wagon would complement the colour very nicely.

I've got a VF brochure and it has a 'Jungle Green'

Jungle Green is a take on the VY Hothouse Green.
Regal Peacock is almost black until the light hits it.
