A FEW MONTHS in from the launch of the first fully imported Commodore, sales are worryingly slow, and that’s a pity because the VF SV6-replacing RS in Sportback guise is a big, roomy and rousing performer with superb performance and involving handling.
We cannot help thinking that if Holden had gone with the Opel’s homeland Insignia name, then the newcomer’s sophisticated engineering and very European character might have been better communicated than sticking with the revered old badge and all the baggage that it comes with.
At around $40,000, the ZB Commodore RS Sportwagon is a very likeable, capable and dynamic proposition.
