Commodore V series names....

[AWD Chaser]

So far Holden have used the following V's for the Commodore:

VB
VC
VE
VH
VK
VL
VN
VP
VR
VS
VT
VX
VY
VZ

Do you think they will run out, and if they do, what will happen then (assuming the Commodore is still around then, or even Holden)

[Poetic Justice]

They'll start using something else?

i dont know why holden used "V" they copied off the valients model numbering scheme, atleast it stood for something on the val's. trust holden to copy from other manufacturers

The models were given the V designation because of its GM platform code.

It amy have already been stated but i couldn't be bothered reading. A somewhat useless comment that is! And when Holden designated the commo's with the big V,Valiant was on to the C's. Love the way people are accusing manufacturers of stealing model id's. Who gives a rats ИИИИ.

No they didnt, Holden were using the VB when Chrsler were on the CL/CM series by then.

Incorrect, by 1978 Valiant was using either CL or CM

If you don't like Holdens either don't open this thread, or read through it learn something off it...

I think that Ford changed away from teh E series because the AU's were so different, and again onto the B's because (At the time) Ford wanted to distance themselves as far away as possible from the AU's.

i'm surprised ford didnt drop the name 'falcon' in attempt to distance themselves from the AU :P

[Poetic Justice]

EK as well

[RPO83]

Also used up VG, VQ and VU

Well VD (Venereal Disease) and HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) go hand in hand

I could see Holden marketing working with this. "The new Holden VD - It's catching!!"

You would worry if they called it the VD Commodore.... referring to the medical aspect of those 2 letters.

VZTRT - nice play on words Do you work in marketing?

Actually an engineer, maybe I missed my calling??

[AWD Chaser]

I thought the monaro was a CV2 or was that CV8? lol

[Ryan]

The one thing I like about the Commodore series names is they are in chronological order (Well not now with the VE) whereas the Falcons confuse the crap out of me. lol

XK
XL
XM
XP
XR
XT
XW
XY
XA
XB
XC
XD
XE
XF
EA
EB
ED
EF
EL
AU
BA
BF

I hope I got that right. lol

Anyway it just looks all over the place compared to the Commodores. IMO

They can also use "VV" or "VW"

lol took the word out of my hands

[lv619]

Who cares what they (holden) do?

[Fairlane]

Pure speculation, but VE then VF (valiant is a memory now for most people)than something new, i really cant undertand why they use V anymore, V was the old opel commodore/senator platform, the new car should be the Z (Zeta platform)something, ZC then ZF commodore sounds like a good start to a series for me.

It would have been a good start to a series if Ford hadn't used the code extensively already

[The Monty]

Im not sure. Would be good to see them come up with something new though.

[Fairlane]

Problem is just about every two letter code has been used at least once.

[AWD Chaser]

How about V6A and V8A through to Z? Or how about the "All new Holden Commodore VJEKSMJSALWEMDC" lol.

They may do they typical thing and just use year models soon, rather then a lettering sequence - FFS - It's not even in sequence really (it is, but with massive jumps, and from the VE release, it won't be)

[coonpanelvan]

just 1 thing ive always wondered about ford, y they did an E series then stopped at L then decided AU for the next, then to the B series??

[BENT_8]

Why didn't holden use VE after VC?
