We seem to be hijacking the MY17 thread, so today's announcement seems a good enough reason to give the MY18 it's own thread.

2018 Holden Commodore details released: Four-cylinder petrol and diesel confirmed, AWD V6 to headline range

Turbocharged V6 ruled out for 2018 Holden Commodore

Some clever use of Photoshop there, I don't see the HWY Patrol rushing down to order them.

I agree with many here, the use of the Commodore name is a huge marketing error.

They're really channeling their inner Kia on this one.

The artist could have done better than chucking some redline wheels on it.

On what planet do they think the HWY patrol will want the naturally aspirated 6 cylinder?

At least Ford killed the Falcon. They didn't rename the Mondeo.

Ugly looking! but can't really tell too you see one, I thought the VT was ugly too at first.. they will have to keep the price below $30k couldn't see people rushing to buy at today's Commodores prices.
Looks like they are targeting the i30 market with this one.... they should just drop the Commodore name...imo

I actually don't mind the look of that. It's just a pity it wont have a V8 soundtrack - even if it is a 400kw turbo charged monster - I still can't really get excited about it.

They absolutely should retire the Commodore badge. It's actually more what the badge has become over the years and means to the (albeit dwindling) customer base that should be retired.

I love it, absolutely love it and if it was already on the market I would buy one for my daughter right now.
