Yo Reaper I might of got a couple of things wrong in the hast of the post like putting Chinise in stead of Asian with the cruze.
But the fact still remains the the torana out sold the base model HZ in its last year of production.
The main reason ford was still doing well in its larger bodied cars over the VB-VL Commodore was Holdens lack of incite to include a commercial commodore line IE:Ute and Panal van.
They addressed the Ute issue and got back a lot of the commercial market but totally lot there van market to the Japanese vans..
But the fact remain that the Commodore has become to fat for the Australian market. We currently have a small Van for the misses, kids and shopping. But I'm looking for a car to commute to and from work that is small and economic enough to drive in heavy traffic conditions and be sport and spirited enough to enjoy driving and big enough to go for a drive with the family on the weekend.. Unfortunately that not going to be a fat ass Holden VE Commodore.. A torana would be nice but if that not going to happen Then a BMW it is..
Sorry that Holden's not going so well at the moment.
I love Holden and enjoyed employment with the company in an engineering capacity for a number of years.
But They just aren't making the car I/we want to drive.. And I know I'm not alone in that decision.
