Keep your VZ man!

Wait for the VF

I'd love too, but unfortunately I need to carry 2 Huskies around, so I really need to get a Sportwagon. Definitely going to be a Series 2, either Calais V or SSV, or will possibly stretch to a Tourer if the price is right.

This still makes a VF more expensive than the equivalent VE. These are not drive away prices quoted. An SV6 auto is about $37k at the moment, a VF, even with a discount is still going to be about 40.

A lot of the more expensive models are going to be cheaper now, especially SSV.

This isn't going to affect VE resale hugely, because they are already worth nothing used. This is just making the RRP closer to the actual transaction price.

The base car is going to be a hard sell at that price. Good luck trying to get anyone to pay 36 or 37 on the road for a base commodore that's going to be worth 20 grand only 1 year old.

I want to know what transmission you get for your basic price, if auto trans is a further $2200, when nearly every model comes standard with auto anyway.

^^ Umm... a manual transmission?

I've heard that production costs have been reduced for the VF, so it sounds like some of these will be passed on (even if it's in the form of features rather than price). It will be interesting to see what Holden do with their fleet pricing, though I'm guessing it won't change much.

You missed my point. If it comes standard with auto, and all except a couple of models do, how can you charge $2200 extra for the auto?

If the manual is n/a on that model then the list price will be for auto. If there is an option it'll be for the manual which is just the SV6 and SS(x) models.

If you want a manual, you get it for the RRP. If not, you have to pay $2,200 extra.

Point missed - again.

Auto is standard on everything except SV6 and SS. You can't option manual on any other model, except maybe the base Ute.
