Holden VE Wagon and HSV Ute Maloo peeked at presentation

We don't have all the details on how these two images were obtained, but it appears they were snapped during a product presentation for future Holden vehicles. We see for the first time Holden's VE Commodore Wagon, which is based on the newish VE Commodore sedan and will share the car's engine lineup of a 255-hp 2.6L V6 and 362-hp 6.0L V8 for the SS version. The other pic reveals the high performance version of the recently unveiled VE Ute called the HSV Ute Maloo. The aggressive trucklet will be powered by a 411-hp 6.0L LS2 V8, and as you can see, will sport a very aggressive body kit. As a matter of fact, if Lamborghini made a car-based pickup, it might just look like this.

Knowing that Holden will be releasing a wagon version of the VE Commodore begs the question whether or not we'll see something similar in the U.S. It could be a Pontiac G8 or Chevy Impala Wagon, though either one would make a compelling alternative to the Dodge Magnum.
