2018 Holden Commodore - Whats your thoughts?!

Post by Tazzi »

Just read the new update on CarAdvice here

Pretty drastic change in design.. in every way. I don't like the look of it.. its like a mazda 3 shacked up with an Alpha romeo.

I think the only thing Im excited about.. is to ripout its electronics :lol:

It's everything a Commodore isn't. Probably not a bad car but it's not a Commodore.

They would have been better off changing the name. They have attempted to retain some of the VF rear styling to keep a family resemblance but it is still a FWD designed vehicle,and only the VXR (a name space used by Vauxhall for the Australian built Commodore sold over there in the high performance market) gets AWD. I won't be "upgrading" to it or any other new "Holden" that is primarily a FWD vehicle.

I thought it was a FWD, although reading that link indicates its actually AWD?

Only the VXR gets AWD, the rest FWD.

My wife's Golf R MK7 is more an SS than that snot!

Not a Commodore, not an SS and most of all not a Holden. End of the line is here. Why even bother Holden!

Just build crappy Craptivas, VIVA and Insignia poop, but call them Daewoo or Vauxhall and keep the Holden name on the mantel for another day I reckon.

Bring on the real GM Muscle under the Chevrolet name I say!

Where have you been since the GFC? Pontiac was axed in late 2010 and the G8 was a rebadged Commodore anyway.
