Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Pt 3.
The first complementary inspection came around a few months later for my Redline and whilst I waited for them to finish with my car, my sales person came out to have a chat with me. I asked if he had any info about these upcoming special models? but all he could give me was info about the normal MY17 updates, as that’s all that was being talked about at the time. I stated that I knew a bit of info on these limited editions and if he could confirm them. He said “that I always was the first to know about things before they did and that perhaps I should get a job at the dealership” haha
I got sent a message advising there was to be a media day in December for journo’s to test drive these 3 Limited Edition models and that the 3 names had been confirmed. Motorsport Edition for the Redline, Director for the Calais and Magnum for the ute. I was told that there would be no badging on the Motorsport and that it would be all stickers, the stickers would come in red and black. I was sent a photo showing what the stickers would look like on the Motorsport which was similar to the Tekno package ones.
I was left feeling abit underwhelmed with the appearance of the Motorsport and had only my imagination to go by on what these cars would look like. Surely Holden was not going to make these final editions just sticker packs like the Vacationer model?!?!?!
The other element of surprise or suspense would be that I was just about to head on an overseas trip that would take me well into 2017, so how was I going to keep track on the changes and developing stories on these limited editions if I didn’t have any internet?
