Holden to Launch Two New Special Editions
Holden to Launch Two New Special Editions
Holden will hit the streets with two new special edition models delivering very different approaches to Australia’s best-selling car range.
The SS V-Series Special Edition sedan, Sportwagon and Ute will achieve immediate attention with styling treatments even more aggressive than Holden’s established performance hero models.
For motorists seeking great value, International sedan and Sportwagon models will deliver $7,500 of extra features (based on recommended retail price of extra features) including leather seat trim and 18 inch alloy wheels.
Holden Director of Marketing Philip Brook said the two offerings highlighted the different ways in which Holden special editions stimulated demand in Australia’s best-selling range.
“These vehicles cater to motorists at both ends of the Commodore-buying spectrum - those looking for great value and those looking for striking performance looks,” Brook said.
“SS V-Series has always been about sports performance and ultimate road presence. Now we’ve dialled it up even further.
“The International edition is even better value when you combine extra features with the advanced 3.0 litre direct injection engine and 6-speed automatic transmission.”
SS V-Series Special Edition Sedan, Sportwagon and Ute
The SS V-Series Special Edition will boast a new aggressive twin nostril front fascia with unique lower splitter and twin letter-box hood scoops. The sedan variant will feature a decklid spoiler and chrome highlights.
On sale from November, the SS V-Series Special Edition will be available in three colours – Phantom black, Red Hot and Voodoo blue.
The Recommended Retail Prices (RRP), not including dealer delivery or Government charges, for the three SS V-Series Special Edition packs are carryover from the standard SS V-Series models and are as follows:
[*] VE Ute SS V-Series Special Edition (man) $47,490 RRP[*] VE Commodore sedan SS V-Series Special Edition (man) $55,290 RRP [*] VE Sportwagon SS V-Series Special Edition (man) $57,290 RRP [*] Six-speed automatic transmission +$2,000 RRP
The SS V-Series Special Edition Ute will make its debut at this year’s Deni Ute Muster which starts on Friday 2 October.
“Holden has sponsored the Deni Ute Muster for 11 consecutive years and its popularity continues to grow,” Brook said.
“The event that attracts the country’s most passionate Ute enthusiasts is the perfect place to launch this special edition Ute.”
Special Edition International Sedan and Sportwagon
The new International offers an impressive level of standard features, five star safety and the performance and refinement of the all new 3.0 litre Spark Ignition Direct Injection V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. The new powertrain offers fuel efficiency that is better than some major four cylinder competitors.
In addition to Omega, the Special Edition Commodore International includes:
[*] 18 inch alloy wheels (4)[*] Berlina front grille[*] Leather appointed seat trim [*] Leather wrapped steering wheel [*] Bluetooth for compatible mobile phones[*] International badge[*] Chrome decklid eyebrow moulding (sedan only)[*] Rear Park Assist (sedan only as already standard on all Sportwagon models)
On Sale from November, the driveaway pricing for the two International packs is as follows:
[*] VE Commodore International Sedan (auto) $35,990 driveaway [*] VE Commodore International Sportwagon (auto) $37,990 driveaway[*] Metallic paint $500
A 3.6 litre dual fuel LPG Alloytec V6 engine with four-speed automatic transmission is available on Commodore International sedan only.

Can't ruin that wagon no matter how hard you try!
no mention of pontiac at all in that article. no surprise. similar to the bonnet vents on the HSV E series 2. they keep trying to pass this off as a new idea when in reality they just had a heap of pontiac parts sitting around and have to flog them off somehow

The wagon looks pretty cool in that picture.
2.5" Catback
yeh the wagon looks pretty sweet in that photo.. has a BMW 4wd look to it..
I'm a sceptic...
Good way to get rid of surplus Pontiac bits...

Why would they called them special, if there just the same as the rest.
Likewise the international, it used to be about limited builds, making them sought after. Now 40,000 people can have the same 'special' commodore.

Holden is making the American Chevrolet Caprice PPV
GM unveils new 2011 V-8 Caprice Police Car
Chevrolet Caprice PPV in action
6 speed
looks weird seeing a caprice with stockies
Chev badges are an instant fail
Not as mint as Luba walking into the sea :0

would look way better with the normal grill and pontiac foglights, instead of just sticking the ugly pontic bars coz they cant sell em.
and btw, they are selling the caprice to america.
So Wet For You!
Got a press release for that? All i have heard is the PPV contract, nothing about road cars to the general public.

thats wat i meant
caprice to the lapd or who ever, well it wasn't final, but they were supposedly as close as ever to getting a sign on those dotted lines, was in car guide.
i hope the sign and we ship our lwb over there, imagine the jobs that would provide for aussie.
something like 90,000 cars sold each year to law.
So Wet For You!
