Great article. The thing is, though, I'm not sure what we're looking at with the new Commodore is a German saloon. True, it's technically an Opel, and built in Germany, but by GM. It's their ethos in the recipe, and we know what their ethos is.
I despise the fact that they don't care about brand identity. The new Commodore is not really a Holden, nor is the Buick Regal really a Buick, not even externally - they're merely given a different badge. At least, the locally built Commodore was actually a genuine Holden; the whole VE/VF development was a ground-up Australian operation. For that, it belongs up there with the Torana and the FX.
Agreed! Same rule applies to the barina, captiva, cruze, trax and all the other stuff they sell! The Commodore was especial but now it's been ruined and you can tell that by the small amount of cars they've sold since it's launch. Thanks for...

The Epica and Vectra don't.

My friends dad has an SSV redline, hopefully he'll let me drive it one day but until then I'll wait in anticipation. Thanks for reading Nigel!
Great review CC. I like the idea of both Commodores.
Yes, I remember reading your review of the German Commodore but my dilemma is that it won't be Bogan enough🤔 Thanks for reading James!
He liked the new one because he is an idiot.
Nice writting 👌 and thanks for sharing it is a really cool car
