THIS is the new holden commodore "VXR" >No V6 Turbo option like its european LHD model >No V8 option or V8 Supercharged options like the outgoing GM Zeta based Commodores >No Manual option at all (Auto only) unlike the outgoing model >No factory performance varient (HSV are making fucking izuzu utes instead...) >Marketing it towards women >Ad men literally telling rev heads to get stuffed (complete 180 from their original 60-10's family rev head image >Feminising their logo/brand
The car it replaced was faster by a Texas mile and cheaper and in the States we call it the Chevy SS and you can even buy it brand new with a stick.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Ryder Barnes
Yes I'd like a ticket and a sponsor to the US. Fuck this shithole. With the government doing jack shit about the death of the manufacturing sector and foreign ownership... Yes I'd like my V8 freedom vehicle now.
Xavier Nguyen
You know, of all the atrocities that car companies have done lately rebadging a Buick as a Holden is by far the worst.
Adrian Gonzalez
LOL. They're marketing to the soyboy urbanite crowd now. Don't they know that the Holden badge is despised by these people? >i don't want a car that my father would drive
Jacob Perry
At least the Falcon went out with its dignity.
Commodore is just being dragged through the mud here.
Better to burn out than to fade away
Jace Morales
We are getting the alpha camaro but in limited numbers
no 4 door v8 or utes or wagons
FUCK GM and Holden >Gets replaced with a Mustang Lol
Bentley Morgan
>FUCK the people who buy our cars >not only that but we want the 'i hate holden because muh envuromint' demographic holden bankrupt in 5 years mark my words
Wyatt Russell
sounds like its time to buy a Kia Stinger GT instead.
Michael Martinez
Good
Opel is dead as well fuck them both to death >no v8 meh
Ryan Young
Welcome to the future.
Nobody wanted the bogan trash they were producing then and I can't see anyone wanting this shitbox now either desu.
Jordan Stewart
>MY SHIT OPINIONS ARE SHIT Have fun living in a shithole with no GM V8 option while we get cucked.
Julian Wood
Not much of a loss desu.
Nicholas Flores
>holden v8 >ford barra >not much of a loss you are a huge faggot and i hope you get eaten by a pack of wild niggers
Dylan Peterson
Would you really trust a Hyundai/Kia over a GM/Opel/whatever this is being made by now?
Connor Williams
That's an Opel user.

Dont worry soyfags will get btfo by niggers in melbourne its happening all the time
Adrian Diaz
That Opel Insignia is a great car, mate. You will not regret it.
Mason Gonzalez
Depends if it's got any Daewoo in it like the Captiva and Co.
Holden hasn't made a V8 since the 308 which died with the VT Commodore.
The Barra is a throwback to the past and while great, has no place anymore when the market has moved away from dinosaurs and into shitty turbo throwaway cars.
Cooper Evans
>xr6t wasn't a throwaway turbo car Lmao
Jace Rogers
Haha holy shit I guess Holden is making Mazdas now?
I mean that literally has a Mazda grille.
Carson Barnes
So wait, if Holden is literally just another Opel rebadge brand now, and GM sold Opel to PSA, what the fuck are the current gen Opel rebadges gonna get replaced with? Fucking Daewoos?
Connor Richardson
that's a fucking Opel Insignia and at least the Aussies are getting a V6
and they even dare to call the new performance model the GSi and not at least giving it a stick option
Michael Miller
>least the Aussies are getting a V6 They should have just packed it in. No one wants this car, it has no reason to exist. Anyone who buys one will be shunned.
Carson Morris
There's probably gonna be a V6-powered OPC above the GSi, which Australia might get as a "Commodore HSV" or something.
Robert Powell
>sounds like its time to buy a Kia Stinger GT instead. Geez... talk about kicking a guy when he's down. You might as well piss on his grandmother too.
Jacob Williams
Next one will be the rebadged chevy car, which will be more unreliable than Opel.
Leo Wilson
youtu.be/Ys0RntRxitw Holden is fuckin dead, kiddo. There's another ad with some faggot shitskin poof talking about LGBTQI make-believe shit too.
The most Aussie car now is the good ol' LandCruiser utes.
Gavin Adams
Seppos empty out
Adrian Ross
>The most Aussie car now is the good ol' LandCruiser utes Seconding this
Dylan Peterson
Sorry, m8. There bottom end just isn't built strong enough to take boast Landcruisers are heaps of shit. Brb thirsty as fuck and feels like riding a horse
Henry Reed
>The Barra is a throwback to the past and while great, has no place anymore when the market has moved away from dinosaurs and into shitty turbo throwaway cars. Merc went back to I6 Petrol Lots of industrial uses for I6 diesel welcome to modern australia wish we got the turbo v6 but its all dulled by a fucking dumb auto transmission it isnt even a DCT Nuke Holden from orbit
Glad i got my 2001 car 3 years ago long before this SHIT otherwise i wouldnt have ever gone near the brand
Aaron Walker
>i6 diesel >Relevant to this conversation
Industrial use and passenger car use are two completely different things.
Just because the majority of trucks use an inline six doesn't mean it's a viable solution for passenger cars, and no, one manufacturer doing it doesn't justify it either.
God you're a retard, falcunt.

Caleb Campbell
>Gets replaced with a Mustang
Still better than getting replaced with what is essentially a Rover.
Ryder Robinson
Oh god you think im one of the discordfags. NO FALCUNT I WON'T LET YOU SUCK MY DICK
Aiden Hall
Rover have been dead for decades what the fuck are you talking about pom?
Christopher Bennett
i just meant in general not you spesifically
imagine what this looks like to the average euroseppo drifting through Veeky Forums ?
Lol
Julian Howard
Is the V8 done?
Is it just easier to slap a turbo on a 4 cylinder and call it a day instead of making an efficient V8 engine?
Jaxon Thompson
Looks like falcunt being falcunt to me and i'm a pretty average europorper
Christopher Reyes
v8's are about torque and n/a feels >Who do you think you are talking to
RIP true Holdens, you will be missed. Its an utter fucking disgrace to think that this is what Holdens of the future will be. Its like saying fuck Bathurst, fuck V8 supercars, fuck the kingswood monaro and torana, fuck Peter Brock, lets let these Eurofags just take a dump on one half of our (muscle) car culture, fuck what are we gonna have at summernats and easternats? Fucking glasses of wine served with the scent of some Eurofags fart? Fuck this shit.
Jeremiah Reyes
Trips of truth
Facken ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
The pooftafication of Australia will continue until we're EU/uk 2.0
