Default New VF Model Name TM

Hey Guys,

Came across Holdens latest TM:

GEN F (TM 1536484)

Obviously for VF... If they will use that designation anymore.,..

HSV probably can't use the term "F Series".

The way Holden/HSV do things and how much everyone loves 'em i'm sure they'll find a way to use F-series.

I just assumed they would go VE VF VG, then use VH, but CH for the long wheelbase, and then VJ/CJ. CK/VK, and then drop the lwb for CL and CM, and then sell out to mitsubishi because of bad management in the US (The target date for this is 2017, so there we be a lot of new models)

Ferrari can't, so I'd like to see Holden try.
