But Holden, like Ford, is not about to go out with a whimper. It is issuing a new challenge with a bold-hearted Commodore wagon that employs high technology to increase both its firepower and long-term stamina. But does the new Alloytec V6 make it good enough to lure people into looking at this traditional wagon before succumbing to the pressures of the SUV generation? It might be going against the flow, but for some that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The VYII Commodore constituted a subtle specification upgrade from the cosmetically revised VY. Its predecessor, the VX Commodore (circa October 2000), was the first major change to Holden's all-new VT Commodore of September 1997, not counting the 5.7-litre Gen III V8 that went on sale in the facelifted VTII in June 1999. |
