VE: The numbers game
Glenn Butler, drive.com.au, 16/07/06
Selling cars is a numbers game and so, it turns out, is developing and building cars. Here's a few numbers unique to the Holden VE Commodore.
Holden's new VE range
3.4 million The number of kilometres Holden said its engineers covered developing the car.
1.04 billion The dollars invested developing and producing the short wheelbase Commodore sedan.
6.1 billion Total GM investment in Australia in the last 10 years, the equivalent of...
13 Telstra Domes that $6.1billion would have bought
3 Melbourne City Link projects
9 Sydney cross-city tunnels
190 million The dollars spent on long wheelbase derivatives. The most ever.
75 The number of years Holden has been in operation in Australia.
2 The number of models that have disappeared from the Commodore range (Executive and Acclaim).
180 & 195 The number of kiloWatts produced by two grades of 3.6 litre V6 engine.
3 The number of automatic transmissions offered across the range (4, 5 and 6-speed).
13 Commodore series before VE (VB, VC, VH, VK, VL, VN, VP, VR, VS, VT, VX, VY, VZ).
10 Years Holden Commodore has been Australia's best-selling car.
60,518 Commodore variants exported to New Zealand, the Middle East, China and Korea in 2005.
152,646 vehicles produced by Holden at the Elizabeth plant in South Australia.
315,670 four and six-cylinder engines produced at Holden's Port Melbourne engine plant.
2.4 million Commodores produced since the first VB in 1978.
And the most important number of them all? ??,??? – the price of the new VE Commodore.
