I was driving past Lang Lang on Thursday and a new blue Cadillac ATS (LHD) came out from the proving grounds overtook me (I was towing a heavy trailer and wasn't going real fast) and turned off. Is this the Statesman replacement, good choice if it is?

If it is priced anything like the Camaro after being RHD coverted, who cares.

I would think the Genesis G80 is an obvious replacement for the Stato, but where is it? Hyundai seem incapable of organising a pissup in brewery.

That sounds like it could be it. Hard to image Holden without a longer wheelbase model, maybe Calais does the job now.

SS Commodore - Ford Territory ... both camps
They dropped the Statesman years ago because it didn't sell well/had an image problem, whereas the Caprice sold well. If any luxury long wheel base GM car came to Australia wearing Holden badges it would be called Caprice. But I doubt that will happen.
