    I also think they should release a Commodore S Wagon.

    It should have all the Commodore S features plus...

    Roof Racks
    Rear Spoiler
    Manual Transmission as standard

    What do you think?

    Any car released should be manual and auto I reckon. Buyers deserve the choice.

    Every Commodore - berlina calias the lot. Any car in general should have the option of a manual.
    Not sure about Statesman or Caprice though,

    I'm quite happy with the auto in the VY, its a good improvement on the VT/X thats for sure. I think if they do release a 5-Speed *real* tiptronic auto on the commodores, it would be perfect. Manual is good when you wanna have some fun, but for the ratio of normal driving : fun driving, i think auto is the way to be.

    OK, Luxo models I can understand, but AWDs??

    IMO ALL four-wheel-drive vehicles should be MANUAL.

    I reckon manual should be at least offered across the board.

    Yes, i think holden should release a tiptronic auto ... the one where u push the gear stick out and you shift it up and down. That would be good!

    paddles on the steering wheel, don't have to take the hands off then.

    autos make the best drag cars, but not the best track cars.

    but a new 5 sp for the 6, and 6 sp for the 8, auto with tiptronic and engine braking on all gears is the rumour. so they should be a clutchless manual basically.

    I think the only auto only holdens should be Calais +

    all sport, all c'dores from berlina down should have manual option.

    Calais is too classy for manual.

    Doesn't the VZ has a 5 speed auto?

    I got no idea.

    Oh and the crewman crossx8 and adventra auto's are heaps harder to shift than the normal.. makes it feel real tough. and the crossx8 you sit so high, its awesome not having to worry about scraping driveways or anything.
