I agree with you, looks very Euro and the first thing I actually thought when I looked at the pics was that it looks very small compared to your average Bombodore.

It is very small, maybe that's the way they are going again, they went that way when they introduced the Commy, they wanted something that looked smaller from the Kingswood??????.

As people have said it looks too small to be a commodore. Maybe a new medium car model?

No way, it looks like a mid sized hatch, and is too far removed in styling from the current model to be related.

I cant see holden going this radical. Too big a gamble.
An interesting suggestion that this could indeed be a torana. Now that would raise some eyebrows. Looks Torana shapeish. Looks like a hatchback though. Interesting.

Looks like a hatch.
Would Holden go so far as having dual exhaust?

Its got a rear windscreen spray jet, its a hatch. Maybe a new commodore variant - I've got the feeling that torana was more VE commodore than concept car.

Yes after seeing that rear pic, with the spray jet, I too say it's the Torrana.
