lol

drive it off a cliff - yeah she should do that.

she can like it all she wants and bang on about it originally coming from Opel many years ago, but we adopted that horrible first commodore and we shaped it into our own thing. Now they (GM) expect us to buy a rebadge. That history means nothing to GM.

Pretty sure GM doesn’t expect you to do anything. I bet your one of these people that has never driven a ZB and never will out of principle of your so called history.

What a load of BS.The ZB in many ways is a better vehicle than the outgoing one.Better get use to it.(no I do not own one) but I see no issue with the vehicle.Go & drive one then “vent” your venom!Some of you posters need to curb your negative comments & move on.Holden will survive,it is going to take awhile.

VX II Acclaim Wagon.
Happy not to see such personal abuse here.
It might drive ok but no link to Commodore.
Come to think of it the only similarity of VL to VN was 4 door RWD. That's not a lot. (Yeah I'm sure someone will say the wipers used the same rubber compound or something ).

....because the appearance is not the ultimate measure of a car for them.

Maybe to you it is.To many it is’nt.Wouldn’t say the VF is the best looking thing around either.Each to his own.

Again,that is your view,ZB is more Commodore than “Commodore”,considering it’s origins are from Opel.

What i find laughable over the negativity for the ZB is that forty years ago, when Holden went from traditional big, crude locally designed cars to the Commodore, the market accepted the change without all this childish, biased and unfounded hatred. I suspect many of those making these ****-for-brains comments were born after 1978 and never experienced the radical change in direction that the VB represented for Holden back then.
The ZB is the next generation. Get over it.
