Wow ! only one FGX Falcon ?? they are all over the place in Adelaide. Plenty of One Tonner versions flying around.

Best looking Falcon made IMHO, just love that front end on them.

I am with Smitty. This might be a reasonable car, but it really is not a Commodore. Commodores are Australian made, rear wheel drive, with a big 6 or V8. People who want a 4cyl front wheel drive will look at Mazda 6s, Camrys ect. I predict this will be a failure in the marketplace.

Finally saw a ZB on the road for the first time this morning on my way to work! Only took 4 months.

I’ve seen two since it was launched. When you think about previous releases of the home grown models, they were everywhere within a couple of weeks.

I’d love to know the sales figures on these things, my impression is that it’s tanking badly, and for me that’s a bit sad, I don’t want to see Holden die, I blame their Detroit masters for the local downfall more than them....putting aside GMH’s atrocious customer service record and shiithouse choice of vehicles (Cruze/captiva anyone?) for a minute..

And for some stupid reason, people stopped buying them. Got me f___d why, VF was/is a cracking car.

But no...let’s buy an SUV instead..*shakes head

"They need to go 4 wheel driving in the suburbs! They also might get bogged on the tar roads!

Yep, lemmings are amongst us..the majority of SUV buyers would be far better off in a VF wagon..but the Jones's don't have a VF

And most of those '4 wheel drives' are front wheel drive...
