Can anyone tell me when this bloody holden Captiva is going to make an appearence? it been on the site for ages but nothing is mentioned about release dates and there seems to be absolutly no media coverage on it. Whats the deal holden? Are you going to release the thing or not? Any information would be great!!!

It's the chev version but there's more pics so you can get a better idea of what it looks like. Most figures quoted are slightly different to the version we'll get.

Would be nice to see the SRi turbo version. Saab gets a turbo 2.8 V6 that punchs out 184Kw so a turbo 3.2 V6 should have a fair bit of go.

The Chev version of the Captiva was at the Melbourne motor show this year. Was badged a holden but was left hook.

The new Torana was only ever a concept and was made pretty clear at the time. Same as the monaro was, but due to overwhelming interest they launched it.

This article may give some hope yet, but also death to the commodore is a slight possibilty.
