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.
mate people hated the first commodores when they rolled off the production lines back in the 70's - especially the turd that was the 4cyl commodore.
ZB is ugly worse still it's bland, no-one wants it, it's dead in the water. No one even cares enough to go try it and see if it's any good which to be clear i haven't even debated. it could give free blowies for all i or the motoring public care.
I'm looking to move over to a VF in the next year or two and keep the Monaro as just a weekender. I'll never even step into a ZB and I'm not alone. GM heads in their sand execs just don't get that, they don't care or even understand.
I've always said that Commodore should have shifted to a premium only model they could have kept manufacturing here but that's not the GM way, it's all volume to them and no volume = failure. Thus we get barely good enough cars with these huge fat margins now. when manufacturing left aus everyone here got screwed. where's the cheap cars we were promised? it never happened.
ZB? drive it off a cliff because in 5 years it'll be worth nothing. According to Redbook it will retain 18% in 5 - that's a kick in the clackers if ever there was one.
