Ha, how strange. I wonder if the majority of their buyers are gaijin?

[RB30-POWER]

Run a bablefish over that site.

Seems like a legit Holden site.

I even saw a new SS UTE in Indonesia, my home country, on a prestige cars showroom which also sell Rolls Royce Phantom, Lamborghini Murchielago, some Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, Hummer, and many more..

[fresh]

since japan don't really need utes, those sorta carsa are a bit of a novelty over there to them, like their awesome cars are to us

[cowie165]

Now someone else can enjoy trying to get parts for an import....

[LTSJayce]

15 year rule?!? LMAO!!! What would that land them? a VL or even a VN?! WOW...

[[[d a n n y]]]

maybe HKS or sum jap tuning companys will start tuning these commos..

i'll like to see that

[rsx84]

holden exports all over the world, middel east is a big buyer for the commadore. everyone knows of pontiac buying the monaro.. and the japanese love strange things in all aspects???

[paulr33]

haha imagine getting a vl turbo into japan under the 15 year rule.

sorry it has 16" interceptor chromies, must be stock. sorry that aftermarket grill is not allowed. how bizzare

i go to curtin uni in wa, and on one of the network drives there was a vid clip of these guys in the middle east with a vt commodore and another type of car (dont ask me what it was) and they were cutting sick as drifts in them. one guy got the vt to 360 about 5 times, and then pulled out and kept going. in the middle of the highway they would drift the vt across a 5 lane highway and drift it back, it was seriously mad shit. then one guy nearly killed himself; he drifted the vt across the road, then came back, but too far, man, the smoke from the handbrakie was unreal (he managed to pull out, but only just, he nearly rolled it beacuse it was so far sideways)

im telling ya, these middle eastern countries have got a thing for these commodores

[[WLDCRD]]

In Indonesia the VL Calais was released there with an RB20DE. They also got Kingswood 202's (their version of a muscle car). Japan also got the Kingswood chasis and released their own version with a 13B in it.

i'm interested to know why japan doesn't need utes?

I wonder if someone will import a SS from Japan back to Aus...

[Rezz]

^^^ Japan doesn't need 'Aussie style' utes...

Holden, at very best, will be an oddity in Japan. A sedan version of a Corvette so to speak, and how many Corvettes do you see rolling around in Japan? You could count them on one hand on a daily basis. I'm sure there are Corvette clubs in Japan with members numbering in the hundreds, but theres just no impact on the market whatsoever... so what would a sedan or even ute version be? An oddity, nothing more. Nice try Holden!

[Bax]

I've wanted to see what some Japanese workshops could do with a VL Turbo for ages. If us simpleton Australian guys can be getting 8's and 9's. I wonder what those lads would get out of it? Some pretty crazy stuff I'd imagine.

Whats this? A Single Cam 3 litre? Pathetic!! haha
