Is anyone considering the NG commodore after their VF?

Yeah you would see the trailer and that is it and it will constantly beep each time you change back into reverse after pulling forward. They are a pita as you need to keep pressing the button to stop the beep. You can set up a camera on the trailer gate though.

I actually don't particularly like them. I rarely use the one in our Outlander. Im old school using the mirrors like we have for decades. Only thing I like about them is you can creep right back in a reverse park and not need to get out to see how close you are.

It’s really only supposed to be for what you can’t see out the back window, anyway.
I use it for stuff like you mentioned; basically when you can’t see stuff. Like our driveway; we have to back in at an angle to avoid scrapage, and there’s nothing to really line-up with to tell where the layback is ... reversing camera is good for that. As long as, in the Commodore at least, it’s not raining ...

Same as you but the poster was having trouble backing a trailer/ not being able to see it.

I haven't backed in mine so not exactly sure. I have backed a truck with a small arse trailer. Not the most pleasant.

I suppose you could put an old broomstick in the back drivers side corner of the trailer to see where that is and judge from there.

Where’s the rear camera for the “360 degree” thing?
If it’s up high, that could help with the ZB?

 

[Hyperduc]

ZB are we back to that. I thought we had moved on. Haha.

Like small children. I recall that the appalling lack of rear vision immediately behind SUV's was a significant incentive to the spread of rear view cameras when fatalities involving young kids became a bigger problem due to the growth in popularity of those vehicles.

TV show... Wisdom of the crowd...
the detective Cavanaugh was driving a GM Buick 4 door that had a grille with that little top bit of grille like that Holden 4 cylinder FWD thing they made here.

I thought the car might be a version of Insignia, then I thought I saw some large capital letters written on the front doors.
AVISTA (maybe).

In a carpark, car chase, it did a J-turn so I assumed it must be a rear wheel drive. It seemed roomy enough for two blokes in the front seat, I wonder if it is the 4 door version of the AVISTA car being chatted about in this thread, or the US version of an Insignia

The following message is directed to Niels Loeb I think the original Insignia looked heaps better.

I think I am looking at a Mazda 6

I would feel embarrassed to drive that mini van/wagon what ever they call it.....

Put a few inches ride height on it and just call it any SUV you like.

Coincidence! I saw that yesterday.
Did wonder what it was, but it’s not right for a rebadged Insignia if you compare stuff like bootlid shape & the shape of the side window openings.
It’s not RWD though, they don’t have any sub-Cadillac 4dr that’s RWD.
Looking at the Chevrolet website; it’s a Malibu.
