ZB Commodore Dead Man Walking

[Calaber]

Why don’t they just give us something we want instead of an ugly piece of ****

You need to pull your head out of the sand mate. You might want high performance sedans but the majority of Australians don't and haven't for years. Are you suggesting that Holden focuses on building or selling passenger trucks, SUV's and working man's utes? Because that's what "we" want, judging by sales these days. Oh, that's right, that's just what they ARE selling, in greater numbers than Commodores. The market doesn't want V8 Commodore type vehicles anymore - is that so hard to understand? Clearly, for you, it is.

Holden are shifting reasonable volume in the Ute and SUV markets. One might argue they are selling Australians exactly what they want.

Not really... They no longer sell ute's, only that lightweight pick-up truck.

When I test drove the zb Commodore I turned on the cruise control to keep the same speed as the slow moving car in front as see were in traffic. With the start and stop of the moving in the traffic I would hear a groaning sound when the car Auto braked. Is this a defect or does the system make this sort of sound?

Alsoif I am ascending a hill and the cruise control is set to 60 will the system apply the brakes to maintain the speed or will it just let the speed increase?

The local dealer in my town has shifted more Acadias than any other Holden model , I don’t personally like them , but obviously many do

Hmm, the Acadia is still a rare animal in this neck of the woods. I think Toyota and mitsubishi are dominant new cars up this way.

Front suspension noise, a known issue. Get the dealer to fix it.

I skip models of Holden that don't appeal to me, the ZB is the most unappealing Commodore since I dunno the VN, not saying it's a bad car it just has nothing going for it looks wise.

i've never cared for what's popular, usually it's trash. like pop music and reality tv.

Oh ok . The demo car only had 5k on the clock so maybe it has been driven into ditches and drains and thrashed up steep driveways.

Today’s car market is more about being stuck choosing from the children’s menu because the chef quit.
