If they plan to replace Commodore with that thing I think their sales numbers drop dramatically
& there will be plenty of people holding on to their old Commodores for a long time.
That does not do it for me, I would much rather buy a Chrysler 300c for the same money.

The Opel cars we have seen here in the past like the Vectra & Astra have never been all that great IMHO.

This is not Commodore replacement this will be out this year so is just another line up that's overpriced for this to sell needs to be around $40,000 .Why would you buy an unknown when ssv is close in price ?

This is not Commodore replacement this will be out this year

What I said was referring to the first line of the quoted article which reads...

"This is what we'll have when the V8 Commodore has gone."

I think it is a sad sign of things to come.

ugly as, no manual .....
up against stuff like the Lexus

a no brainer.. its a dead duck
(just like the Malibu... what is happening with the Malibu, sales success that it ain't)

I don't mind it and it will handle being 4wd, don't compare it with a commordore..

One looks a little to much like the other.

But I reckon the bottom one looks cute enough to sell though

why do ppl think 4WDs handle..???
yes ... on dirt derfinitely but I don't think there are any dirt tracks left in Melbourne CBD

push a 4WD drive hard on bitumen and all you get is scrub understeer.. like any front wheel drive car
.. not nice plus this thing has a turbo'd V6 out front. Me thinks we are going to get something that
understeers more than a HQ Holden

AWD i think he means to say as in Evo/Wrx.

..same applies to an EVO or Wrx.
boot one around a corner on bitumen and be prepared to very quickly
start winding on more lock on the steering wheel

Bugger..... and here was me thinking we'd be seeing fleets of Holden Insignia's up at Fraser Island.

Not to mention the horrendous torque steer in the older Evo's ....

Reckon I'll hold out a bit longer for a more sound offering.

I dispute the Insignia is the most hi-tech .... in gadgets ONLY

The Chevy Holden Volt / Opel Vauxhall has 100 processors and 10million lines of code, the Insignia pfffst not even close! :-)
