If Only we could get these here in the US!

Always a good car, and super buying value, now it’s even better. That’s what Holden has done with the VE Series II Commodore (http://themotorreport.com.au/tag/holden-commodore).
But don’t go looking for broad brush changes. It’s the subtleties and new technology that define this model update.
Significantly, there are no price changes across the range except for the Omega Ute (http://www.themotorreport.com.au/tag/holden-ute), which goes up by $2000, and the Caprice (http://www.themotorreport.com.au/50766/holden-wm-series-ii-caprice-and-caprice-v), which is $2500 less than the Statesman it replaces.
The Commodore is Australia’s top-selling car, a title it has held for the past 14 years straight. The new model will do its cause with buyers no harm; dollar for dollar, against its imported opposition, the improved Series II is strong buying value whichever model you choose.
We’re spoiled here by the sheer competence and world-class value of our local large cars.
Holden let the press loose from its Elizabeth plant in Adelaide in a fleet of brand new VE Series II Commodores. We scored the Sportwagon SS: manual, blue metallic, stump-pulling 270kW V8 nestled under its broad bonnet.
