Comments on: The New Commodore is Almost Here http://www.aussiemotoring.com/2006/07/18/the-new-commodore-is-almost-here/ News and Reviews From the Australian Motoring Scene Sun, 22 Jan 2012 23:22:30 +0000 hourly 1 By: Administrator http://www.aussiemotoring.com/2006/07/18/the-new-commodore-is-almost-here/#comment-124 Administrator Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:40:02 +0000 http://www.aussiemotoring.com/?p=175#comment-124 I wonder if "big square body" is going to be seen as "big costly fuel guzzler" by the Australian motoring public? I think that the fact that Holden has been reluctant to release the fuel consumption figures yet does not make things look good for the new model.

It is VERY different, as it has incorporated many body aspects from many other cars (Prev. Holdens, Falcon, Audi). What really strikes me is the "American-ness" to it. The big square body that all American cars seem to have. I suppose that is what GM influence is. And the reason the Americans love it is because it looks American - give them what they like and they would have to agree. —– http://holdenlion.blogspot.com I have commented around the place but this is how it stands for me.

Thanks for pointing out that the Commodore is arousing some interest in the US too. I'm sure a lot of Australians wouldn't realise that Holden have been exporting cars to the US - it's a shame that they can't leave a good design alone but have to fiddle with it for the US market. G’day Matty
