    I saw a report on telly saying that this is Holden's last commodore. They have no replacement planned, but it looks like an SUV of some kind would fill the void. Most buyers are now buying small cars, or medium (turbo 4 cyl) cars, and then making the jump up to SUV's for towing etc.

    The market for the big Aussie V6/V8 sloon seems to be evaporating...

    Nope, they've already confirmed there will be a 2017 Commodore. Although it might not be Australian platform/design, as they are moving to the global architectures.

    I'm not a Holden fan at all (I really hate most of their new products) but I think VF looks great! It's finally got the class that Australia's leading automotive product deserves. If only Julia Gillard came with the same classiness...

    VF Commodore launch soon

    Just had a look over the new VF Commodore, reported in The Age today. While large sedans are suffering due to soft roader SUV and 4WD trend, got to say the new Commodore looks pretty good, some nice touches and interesting features.

    Launch is scheduled within the next couple of months.
