I thought it was pretty standard wisdom never to buy the first model of any new car...when we were hunting for a car and found a few VX's we liked, we were told (and informed by this very website after a bit of searching) that the series II VX was a must, as the rear suspension geometry was modded to fix the VT and first series VX problem of looking like the rear wheels of a forty year old VW Beetle from behind...
The number of times over the years I've seen all sorts of cars...Magnas, Camrys, Falcons, and, yes, Commodores, with build problems in early versions of a completely new model isn't funny.
As much as you might have your tongue hanging out for one...I'd wait a year or two...:whistling
