VF II SS
The US reviews on the Chevy SS have all basically said the same thing. The SS was too plain/euro looking compared to the muscle cars the yanks are used to and love like mustangs, camaros and chargers etc. They like that old school look. The SS looks like a Malibu to them.
Plus they were priced in the vicinity of the cars the yanks already liked so why buy an unknown car was the attitude
Yeah...yanks are a bit like that...
Massive malls and big gulps...
Over the top..
Little style

With the new model being on sale for less than 8 weeks it's a real concern for GM if it's discounted already! .....

this is a special offer to a select group of previous VF buyers only
the $2000 is not for ALL ZB purchasers, you get a special code only YOU
can use

with a list of about 2,000 previous owners getting this, a max of $4million
is an easy way to generate interest, showroom traffic and also get cars out there

After reading March VFACTS numbers I suggest they may want to expand this campaign in both magnitude and audience reach.

I went in for another look last week when walking past and was there for about 5 mins looking at a few ZBs. No salesman approached me.

Oh, and they still look terrible, so my second look at them was no better than the first :D

Perhaps a change in deodorant brand is in order LOL

Much like when the VF series 1 came out, Holden was flogging them off cheaper than the series 2 VE's to try and stimulate interest.

That was a drop in RRP. This is a discount off the RRP. Subtle but important difference. Somehow GM thinks they will get more money for the Opels. Looking at March sales, I think that idea just went out the window.

I got one (and I bought a HSV for my last purchase in '15)
LOL, the marketing genius at Holden is dreaming.
What can they offer you with their current range.

Holden needs to be sending out those offers to the Astra and Cruze owners before they upgrade to a Mazda or Toyota

Heads are starting to roll at Holden..... Don't expect this to be the last

https://autoaction.com.au/2018/04/0...-director-mark-harland-shock-sudden-departure

Rumour is they have near 6 months un-sold stock either sitting in their yards or on the water which is a complete and utter disaster compared to the 4 - 6 weeks they normally have. I hope they are paying well for the new marketing boss coz I don't see anybody wanting that poison chalice!
