Teh new Commodore...

[Bird]

I just threw up lot in my mouth....

The new imported Holden Commodore could be revealed in less than two years – and it could come with a 375kW V6 performance hero.

Opel is understood to be readying its next generation Insignia large car for as early as 2016 – a car that would go on to replace the Commodore.

While it could be unveiled internationally in 2016 the imported 'Commodore' – as revealed exclusively by Drive the Commodore name could be dropped in favour of Insignia or a fresh name - would not make it to Australia until local manufacturing ceases by the end of 2017.

Holden designers are understood to have influenced the look of the new imported Commodore, although it would be the first time since the 1960s a Holden large car has not been predominantly designed in Australia.

Hmmm, obviously going against the trend here, but I don't mind this

Yeah I don't mind this, the Germans can always build nice wagons aka 'Estates'

So whats it going to look like with a 4in lift & 36in Muddies on

Relax. If  a new car called a Commodore ever  comes after 2017 it won't look much like that artist's dream. It will have to have doors for a start.

Having bought   motoring magazine for more years than I should I have I was never surprised by the cover of the 'new commodore' or 'new Falcon' a couple of times a year with a spectacular artist's impression based on 'leaked inside information'. The reality never quite matched the hype. 

I gave up on the magazines years ago, partly  because the emphasis shifted to the Subaru WRX and its ilk, but if they are still in business they will still be doing it.

FWD and no V8 option. 

Pass.

PS - not a Commodore due to above factors

I like the look of it but it really needs a couple of doors.
