Holden will retain the Commodore nameplate for its next-generation large sedan, even though the new "Commodore" will bear no resemblance to the large, rear-drive car currently sold in Australia.
Just-Auto is reporting that the new Commodore will be a front-drive vehicle based on the next generation Opel Insignia/Buick Regal. While Holden previously stated that the new Commodore would be built in Australia, the end of Holden's manufacturing operations has now made it necessary to import it from another location.
Some reports have suggested that China may be the location of the Commodore's assembly. According to previous reports, the new, Chinese-made Commodore would have a standard 4-cylinder engine, with an optional V6. Though it would be close in size to the current car, it would look more European, with coupe-like styling rather than the current car's brawny, slab-sided proportions. Holden is currently importing the Insignia VXR as a high-performance model, and perhaps as a test case for a future Commodore.
