The first new Commodore in seven years was unveiled this morning here in Australia, this car will also be exported to the US as the Chevrolet SS (the outgoing model came to the US as a Pontiac G6/8)

Looks a fair bit more upmarket, especially the interior. All models get push button start, keyless entry and automatic parking as standard.

This will be the last Australian designed and built car before they use a completely new imported platform for the next generation of Commodore

Looks like a chev and a chryslers offspring:( Holden are losing their design integrity quickly in my opinion.

I didn't really fancy it much when I saw it, but I think it'll eventually grow on me. To be be fair they showed the top range Calais V with its mandatory lashings of chrome. They'll show the SS/SV6 next Friday, I'm looking forward to that.

Be interesting to see the HSV's variants.

Yea to be fair I've hated every Commodore when they first come out then once I'm used to them love them but it just looks way too much like a Chrysler Sebring got a facelift. The ve was pushing it for me, very Koreanish, the vf is just a bit too... something? I have seen the animated impressions of the s-packs, hopefully the really thing shows them up

Perhaps softening up the public for the next model, which sounds like it will be similar to the Cruze (an overseas design partially produced and fully assembled here?)

It's a pity they seem to waste so much of their budget on the exterior cosmetics. If they spent the extra on the mechanicals/ suspension who knows what they could produce. I liked the first model VE most of all, all the updates have softened it's appearance.

Agreed on the ve, I think the vz series 2/ve series 1 will be the two climax models of the Commodore. My understanding is by 2018 the cruze and the Commodore will merge to a fwd midsize. Forgotten where I read that, probably motor.

They're supposed to be importing the Malibu soon too - unless that's been scrapped? (Or it's going to be the "new" Commodore and has been delayed...)

The Opel Insignia (AWD turbo version of course) would have been a nice replacement model, but we get that now anyway straight from Opel.

The Malibu was in line for new releases at the Motor show last year the cruze wagon, Colorado wagon and volt, so far all released this year so I'd say it's on its way. Felt very cheap but wasn't horrible. It'd make a good fleet car in lpg

The VF has just been revealed in V8 Supercar guise

Looks not too bad!

Looks muuuuuuuuch better without the dry/foglight combo. Nice as a supercar:)
