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)

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.

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

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)

Why does it always have to be two letters?
Why cant they have like the V1 Commodore or something? Or even like the Skyline R31,32,33,34 etc?

If you dont like the thread, dont read in it and dont post in it. I am a car enthusiast, which means I enjoy cars i general, but my last name is FORD so I cant drive around in a Holden, lol.

Remember it works both ways, Ford avoided the BC to avoid the obvious holden jokes and not advertise the fact that the leaf springs in the Wagon have been around since before christ.
