I don't like the VY styling either and agree that the VT and the VX are the best-looking cars in the recent series of Commodores. I would have to recommend the VX Series 2 if you can afford it. It's the newest model of the two, so it is a better bet. The VX also has the benefits of the development that takes place over the life of a car. Build quality is at its best, and any problems have usually been fixed. The VX 2 will also have a lower odometer reading, which means its useful life to you will be longer and it will have a better resale value when you sell it. But there isn't much wrong with the earlier model, so it really comes down to what you can afford. In terms of reliability there isn't much between the VT and the VX, so I wouldn't worry about that.
