New Commodore VXR

[Alan H]

I have just purchased a Black 2020 VXR. I was expecting a standard (looking) Black VXR but, what I got is a "Black" VXR. All the chrome trim is replaced with Black trim. It also seems a bit lower as well. I cannot find anything about it in Australia but happened to stumble upon images of a Black Edition in NZ.
I would like to think I have the only one in WA. Does anyone else know of these in Oz.

I must say I prefer the chrome with black as it really pops. With a red or white body the black out looks a lot better, all in my opinion of course.

Yes there are black editions in Australia. They look quiet good especially in White with the black outlines. The Equinox also has a black edition.

I agree, black trim on a dark colour looks odd in my eyes. My current and last cars were dark blue and green, and i think the chrome highlights really sets it off.
There is a big trend for complete blackouts now though, I just don't get it!

Makes the car a little more stealth so doing drug deals at night should be easier if you are into that sort of thing

If I was a drug dealer I'd hope i could afford something better than a ZB
Although maybe for buyers....

Some would say that one would have to be on drugs to consider buying one.....

Maybe.... but if you drive one for a few days you think wow this car is bloody awesome as long as you get out of your head it's not a V8.
The guys with VT, VX, VS, VE etc will think the same. Even it is better at handling than the VF Commodore. The tech in it is so much better and the MY20 with the MyLink update is bloody good too.

It's a pity that everyone bagged these cars as they were quite good. I also think the 2.0 litre version is good too.
