    Ordered my ZB on Friday night....

    Nice work mate, how about a pic or two ;) The things are growing on me somewhat while not my thing. Very colour dependent... Hope you enjoy it ;)

    Decent ZB review

    A long time ago Ford produced a car called the AU. It was lambasted for it's looks. But over time, it's looks grew on people, and they're loved today. Nah, not really, just setting a scene. And probably quite cruel to mention in the same post. But it disturbs me that the longer the ZB is on...

    "It's Offical" SAPOL has 40 of ZB's

    Wow news said trialling ZB, 40? Sounds a fraction more than a trial.

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    Dear Holden, you have been and remain a provider of 'cars for the masses', as does GM your parent company also, thought arguably you are now GM and Holden is a ghost. So to publicly state that your image derived from a perceived image of your buyers real or not of "An uncultured and...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    See you're in SA, if thats true here cool but Tempe do sell wheels (check their website big part of what they do, but maybe just online I dont know) and own the Simmons brand unless they've flogged them off since 2016 or so. Not quite the wheels they once were though can't speak for their three...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    Was in Lizbeff yesterday and Peter Page had an RSV wagon sitting low on Simmons sitting in the mall. Must be a thing at the moment dressing them up. It looked ok but Simmons well Tempe? Least they're making an effort to get the looks issue out the road and show what COULD be if you buy one. But...

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    I can't see a Holden TTV6 in ZB selling in any greater numbers than the Stinger, which seems to hover around the 200 a month mark. It's hard to know which of the Kia and Holden brands is more palatable to the Australian buying public anymore...side note I know my brother finds it hard to get...

    Do you like or hate the new Commodore?

    Well.....maybe the dealers have got the hint....i've seen one VXR on the road and one in black outside the dealer as a demo this morning. I've disliked the car in general up until now, but I have to admit it looked pretty good in VXR form. They might sell a few more with that range leader out...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    The front angle is smack on for it to look it's best takes away that narrow look of the front, very specific angles it looks ok. Darkness is a cheat :) The other pic looks like a JDM car. Might sell a few cars though with a few being modded. Wheels suit it nicely must say. Blanced seeing the...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    Don't know about others, but to me i have to picture a car in my drive and think 'yeah baby'. It isn't just about equipment and tech. It CAN be about grunt. But i need that thing that makes your balls tingle when you see it. ZB misfires for too many people. I'm convinced ZB is probably a...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    I saw a ZB Calais this morning. I could tell it was a Calais by the badge. Rear looks ok in isolation.... But i have to say it seems pretty typical of most reaction I hear. I don't think anyone really says its 'ugly'. It just blends in with the crowd. I was driving very close to a dealer though...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    Drove past a local dealer this morning and there front and center was a Mazda, sorry ZB, with 'NEW COMMODORE' splashed over it...man it looks awkward at some angles. What makes me wonder is why they don't stick VXR's or the like out front as the 'look leader' in lieu of what looked like a pretty...

    Saw my first ZB, a wagon, OUTSIDE of a dealership yesterday, took that long. Though i've mistaken many a Astra for one at a glance.

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    I'm from the traditionalist school of thought that says the nameplates belonged on the Aussie manufactured cars..no more. That's where they meant something to me. I'm with you on the Falc, FG was a damn good car for 2008 (though it's timing close to VE meant the benchmark had moved), but even...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    I'm certainly not enamoured with the 'thin' paint on mine, talk about chip prone. But they handle great (most of my experience apart from my own being hire cars TBH), cabin's excellent (i have to kick myself to remind myself i'm in a Commodore), safety gadgets mostly up to date, LS3 in SS, cabin...

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    Nah, just saying it was best left with the last of the Aussie built cars, rather than slapping onto a Mondeo or similar. Commodore name, IMHO, best left on the VFII arguably the best Australian car ever built.

    Smarter in dropping the Falcon nameplate :) It was the right thing to do.

    Will ZB be the end of GM in Australia

    Both Ford and Holden were caned for building cars nobody wanted at the tail end of manufacturing. Now GM are trying to sell us a car built offshore nobody wants. With a badge which will likely lose a few sales on top, trying to attract a Commodore buyer with that badge was a ill considered move...

    What deal did you get for your vf series 2????

    When shopping myself last year the numbers City were quoting made me laugh. Metro were better, but i wasn't aware of that time the writing was on the wall for them....bought from Sydney and got a discount on the vehicle that City/Metro wouldn't discount an iota, and City had their price, um...

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    Funny how what people like differs, i'm totally the reverse and love the VF2 rear, best ass VE+ has had, its the front that went backward (and I have a VF2). Same thought though on muscular, just applying to the front. VE had the simplest 'tough' front end, it's like after that they thought...

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    Wow didn’t realise Stinger GT is listed as 1780kg on Kias site. Where are all the screams of fat pig? (Don’t get me wrong I like the Stinger but that’s usually the catchcall of the wowsers when new Falcons and Commodores appeared)

    Did you have City do it? Just curious...I only called up the other day and they're waiting for more rocker arms.
