At least it will ride really nicely.

I have a 407 V6. it's more of an Exxon Valdez

Perhaps Holden will finally release the long awaited FA model?
bigfatmat1, Aug 9, 10:13pm
but that's not a c6 with that silly suspension jazz
thejazzpianoma, Aug 9, 10:14pm
No. but it leaves a nice oil slick.

this is not new news.

This happened months back mate.
Holden have a contract to be supplied with current cars for foreseeable future.

Funny, as I thought the new commodores looked a bit like a 407.

Will now become the best Opel/Holden models ever built.

Here in 5710 the Constabulary have just traded their old Commodores for the new model.

It made me think.
Once the roll-out of these new police cars is complete, what's the minimum car you would need to do a successful remake of Getaway in Stockholm here in NZ?

Not sure how that works, the ZB isn't a PSA creation, it was still designed by Opel.
thejazzpianoma, Aug 10, 6:25pm
Depends more on who the body designer was, unless it was styled in house.

Only two years i believe. The current commodore/opel/peugeot thingy has to be replaced very soon. Maybe early 2020s peugeot will stop making it. They have their own platforms.

I wouldn't worry too much. In 7-10 years time most cars will be made under contract in China by Great Wall!

Caddy's coming :oP

Indeed 7-10 years only small cars will survive built by the cheapest countries to build them. If you have the coin to spend on a large car you are going to buy an SUV. It is just logic. Commodore will vanish.

Hi mate! do you mean on of these "jazzy" kind of cop car.

No it will not. It will never be made in RHD.
taipapaki, Aug 11, 12:25pm
For sure.

But just look at them side by side.

If you didn't know better, you would swear they had the same dad.

At least thats what my eye tells me.
