The second-generation V-car was a complete redesign inside and out.
Touted as “Big New Commodore,” it finally brought size parity with high-flying Falcon, although the previous narrow track was retained.
Its coarse, US-made 3.8-litre V6 engine was totally outclassed by the burbling local 165kW 5.0-litre V8.
The SS stood out with a body skirt and rear spoiler.
Standard features: Alloy wheels, limited-slip differential (LSD), power steering, radio cassette player, clock, heated rear window, rear centre boot/ski hatch, centre console armrest
