As a Volt Owner,

I really enjoy seeing so many Volt design / style items in the car.
Glad the VF designer had taste !

Cheers,

shot of SSVAttachment 1897

Maybe it's the angle of that photo, but something looks strange - the front end is too long and looks out of proportion with the rear. Like the middle section of the cabin is too far back.

Isofix for the parents with youngsters...

That interior looks sensational. What a step up from the current one.
I can't wait to see one in real life, i think the exterior will look far better than in the pics.

Just noticed the LCD displays on the HVAC knobs..

Those door locks are kind of ugly, but everything else looks pretty impressive. The sculpting of the rear end makes the biggest change but what i really want to see is the base models. They are going to have the biggest effect on whether or not we'll be drive Impalas in 2021.

Not likening this part

"It has been seven years since the last new Commodore - the longest gap in the model's 35-year history - and it will be the last of its type. When this VF Commodore bows out in 2016 it will be replaced by a large front-drive sedan based on new global underpinnings that will be adapted for local conditions."

Yep mentioned that before, not technically legal yet and not technically safer, more a convenience thing to ensure 100% correct fitment of restraint.

Like the interior hate the exterior, its god awful in my opinion.

Hope the HSV variants save the day or it's a E90 M3 for me.

Without even reading that article i bet you my last 5.56 slug that it was that tosser Joshua Dowling. He will not confirm that it was said to him by anyone of importance it's just more speculation from this anti-Australian journalist!

The same one that for months leading up to the launch of the VF said it was the last Commodore and would be toast in 2016, well we all know how that turned out!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the aerial. Why not an incorporated or a shark fin. Or stub aerial. The long aerial just looks a little cheap on the vf now.

Why not incorporate it in the rear glass like my XR6 turbo has, works a treat.

Interior looks amazing

No adaptive cruse control ?

I could be interested in trading the Focus on one depending on the cost , is there a link to technical specs somewhere so i don't have to listen to all the marketing bs ?

Not sure if they have missed it
Is adaptive cruise the same as it can't hit the car in front Arron ????
If so look on the left side of the steering wheel where the cruise is there is a collision button by the looks of it ????

I will be buying 1 Just not sure if a Holden version or a HSV version but probably a V8 Calais
