I don't like it, but I don't hate it either. They've done well in minimising the front overhang which helps the proportions, but the bonnet still looks too short to me in context of the car's overall length which looks quite long.

Not a bad replacement and they could have done a lot worse. Holden will get to perform a few styling tweaks so it will end up better than this. Not to mention it's still 2 years away.

I don't think it's it. The Next Commodore will be an Opel Insignia, it was part of German union negotiations about an increase in production in one of their Opel plants, also it's to come in wagon which this Buick does not

I dont know hey... Its kinda sad we are losing Holden, Ford and Toyota manufacturing cars but i guess the people voted with their wallets. All i know is it will not have a V8 option, whatever the next Commodore is

The family driveway of the future will have a 4wd Ford Ranger Dual Cab parked next to a Mazda3.

So Commodore has come the full circle
introduced in 1978 using a 1972 Opel Commodore as a base car even the 1980 Opels had the extra back window ala VK/VL at that rate our new cars should be 3 or 4 or 5 years old by the time we get them so they probably wont even look like the samples shown just my thoughts John |

I see you got the new car and I picked up my new jeep (overland)two weeks ago They have moved only 30 insigna's so far, so they think they'll sell it as a commodore Ford have just employed an ex Holden guy (wolf) and they recon he's going to do something really hot for ford So watch this space Regards spyman |
