Lets see how long the last 2020 commodores are listed on carsales for hahaha

There won't be any 2020 Commodores. They can't sell the stock they have now. No way they will bring more in next year.

Funny I feel less upset about this than I did when the Kingswood nameplate was dropped.

I guess it’s easier when it was so inevitable and add to that the fact it’s no longer a local build.

I don't think anybody should be surprised by this development; the German-made Commodore has been a flop with Australians since it landed, many describing it as a "squashed-roof Corolla" and overshadowed by cheaper, better-specified Euro rigs like the VWs and Audis. My dealer was one of the big names that cancelled all forward orders of the Commodore, selling only 3 in 9 months to old European retirees who thought they were buying German prestige. Fail: taking a German car and smacking on the Australian-born Commodore badge is a bloody cheek.

The next announcement I think will be of Holden pulling out of Australia entirely. This has been mooted several times since June this year.

Very true indeed. And now existing stock values will plummet and go for a song (Boxing Day Sale, Euro Commodores going cheap, cheap, cheap!), just to shift the stuff.

As ABBA said, "Thank You for the Music". :(

My ex-wife (she's German) drives an Astra. She'll be pissed off that they are dropping the Astra too.....
