How come ya had to order one? There are thousands of the shitboxes laying around unsold
Trying to make them look exclusive and in demand? Dealers have always played this game of "I'll maybe let you have one if you quickly sign up now".

The below is from a post to an ex-Holden employees group on facebook last Saturday:
"Putting on my flame proof suit..... I have a confession to make..... I drove a ZB today, and I liked it...

We (HVO) built a terrific car, and for the last 6 or 7 months of manufacturing, were the #1 plant in GM for Right First Time, however, the ZB is a big leap above the VF from a refinement and technology (AEB, lane keep assist, DAB, AWD, Android Auto/Apple Carplay, etc) point of view (as it should be given it's a new model).

Now I agree with many, that the Commodore name should have been retired with VF, and let the ZB be an Insignia (or whatever), however, I'm still seriously considering a ZB - just a matter of whether it's a Calais V or a VXR!

Ready to be flamed now!"

I ended up ordering a ZB Calais V on Friday night, to replace my VF Calais V V6. For me the extra technology makes the upgrade worthwhile. I should be collecting the car on Wednesday all going well!
Enjoy! Don’t listen to the negative comments! I would certainly look @ one if I was in the market for this size of vehicle.(I don’t or never have owned one) Cheers:):)

Zb vxr
Bought a vxr last week and love it , traded my vf ssv1 after the power steering failed nearly causing me to have a head on . Sure the powers not there on tap but it's a better car in all other respects , seats are much more comfortable, transmission and handling are top notch , and the technology is incredible , if anyone is half tempted to take one for a drive do it and ignore the bs opinions from the idiots that haven't driven one and wouldn't have a clue. If Holden is to survive in Aussie we need to appreciate there products for what are now and not what they used to be . Get out there and give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised.
