VF Commodore wont be the last

[PHaSR]

I think that they are secretly hoping the sales of the VF will be down to justify a shift to the mid size market, nothing else could possibly explain the look of this model made of recycled epica parts and flim-flam.

^^ Umm, heaps of people like the look of the VF, and DON'T think it looks like an Epica, Camry, Mazda6 etc etc etc...

I am pretty sure that I saw a comment from Holden along the lines of the VF will probably not be the last Commodore and that RWD is in the Commodore DNA.

Whether that is a development of the Alpha program or something else, only time will tell.

I will sit on my 2013 SV6 Z that I pick up this weekend for about two years, and then look at VF.

I have never bought an auto, and only bought one FWD (the first Honda Accord to land in Oz in 1977). I don't know what I would do if the Commodore post 2016 became FWD or only auto.

front wheel drive hahahaha what a stupid idea . if they did that they would be shooting themselves dead . what killed sales was the damn new look of the VF , the back end looks like a friggen camry . its takes getting used to looking at that and saying to yourself yep thats a holden . read all the comments on youtube about the VF they will all say the same thing . to me the only good looking VF is the ssv redline and the HSV GENF . the rest look a bit ugly . I myself got a genf HSV 2014 clubsport and love it the front and the rear shape with the different tail lights is what made me cave in and buy it .

i cant wait to see what they have designed for the next HSV . And they really really need to come out with another HSV coupe .

I heard a story a year or two ago that they were bringing back the Opel Omega (Commdore's German cousin) - but it would actually be a rebadged FWD Cadillac. Thankfully that never happened.

I have heard from my local dealer that we will see some Euro based AWD models. Possible turbo options. Time will tell.

Just check out the current/future Opel line up. The only problem with their AWD is that it's FWD based - aka rubbish.

I am no expert on AWD, but isnt most AWD, front wheel biased, or based??

Easy to address with a software change to the AWD transfer case / controller - can have it channelling most drive to the rear.
