Well, guess the great Holden Commodore has come to an end.. I can't see this appealing to even the most bogany aussies.

The same has been said when VT first came out, after a month everyone fell in love with it and it won COTY awards...

I hated VT too, I thought it looked like a typical Jap car lol Now I think they look good.

There not to bad, but they deffinatly have some vectra looks. I like the look of the ss better than the statesmen (its too common a shape). Like nick though i hope they do well but i think there are enough aussies out there to keep it alive. Hopefully with them using overseas parts the price will be reduced as its way out priced at the moment.

so are they all single cam push rods engines still?

Which has a hell of a lot of R&D behind it. Notice that cars have that start rating, same as fridges (and soon tapware). For the power and the size of the cars, they really are pretty good on fuel.

Really I think people just want cars that look cool. Look at the 300c, really they are cheap shit cars, there is no other way to put it, for $60k you aint getting THAT much other than a whole lot of road presence.

That and holden might need a rebranding. Make the badging look nicer etc. And they REALLY need some engine choices. Other than the cost to do so will put prices up.

I dont see what your all complaining about...

I like it! I reakon it looks very nice - I'd own one. Obviously the showroom model will vary as those pics are shithouse and obviously not real...

Give it a chance

that ute just looks wrong, looks some someone did a dodgee photoshop job, just took the photo of the sedan and deleted the back section away.

those photos of it looks pretty crap, maybe in real life or photos of it with a backdrop might make it look better

I skimmed the article - what "secrets" were revealed?

There were no photos...

There were no pricing announcements (other than sub $40k start price)...

It MIGHT get displacement on demand... I can also it also MIGHT be able to fly. MIGHT means nothing.

There will be a price rise... There is ALWAYS a price rise.

Powered by upgraded engines from the VZ... The VZ engines were brand new, they wouldn't replace them already would they?

Heavier than previous model... New models are nearly always heavier.

New safety features... It was bound to happen.

So what "secrets" were revealed?

Yeah cos the silvia is perfect for the wife and 3 kids on a week long holiday going to melbourne from adelaide. Well done knob jockey. If your gonna compare it at least do it to something in the same class.

Similar in some ways but in real life I think the VE will have alot more presence - especially with a wider stance and a far bigger wheel arch and flares. Alread the 380 looks very plain, which is a very good thing for Holden, but a bad thing for mitsu.

VE Commodore

well the 4wd monaro didnt really have much more presence with its flairs, so y would u think the new commo would? holden arent big on outrageous styling, all the cars r so similar. altho they are slowly improving as sales decline

but in my mind they are still a company car only

The only reason commodores and falcons survive is due to fleet buyers. I work at a petrols station and if a new falcon or comodore comes in you can pretty much guess it will have a star card cos it's a fleet or lease car. And they don't pay petrol so they don't give a damn. And it's really stupid having this big 4 litre car with one person in it driving around for work. They should be in small cars or something.

Basically the monaro-coupe4 comparo has more presence than the GTS-GTR comparo.

Definately hope so!!!

Im guessing that the Chinese push into the Australian market would make it very difficult for all car makers.

Hopefully this computer generated image will prompt Holden to release the real pictures and some more specs on the car.

Should be

But not everyone would think it a wise idea. For example I regularly use my work Commo/Ford to travel to country areas, a corolla simply would not do. What you want on long journeys are good air con, comfy, and a relaxed motor that can be serviced anywhere.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
