                Is it just me or are people just mentally incompetent.
                The Commodore is going to do horrible, its just going to be competition for the Camero and im pretty sure people are going to get the camero over the commodore.

                Or is this going to be strictly a Police cruiser...?!

                    Hmm,, i dont know what to think

                    It would be nice to see it come as a replacement for the Impala, and that means it offers logical competittion for the Camaro
                    much like the new Taurus SHO will be to the mustang (no need for rant about rwd-awd/rwd-rwd)

                    Although,, it sucks that it would become a Police Issue vehicle, because that makes them unpopular and unappealing...

                      Don't underestimate the power of four doors my friend. I love the Camaro, I drool over it every time I build one online. But there's not a chance in hell I'd pick it if I had a Chevy-ized G8 to buy.

                        Having lived in Australia for about 5 months, I know that the Commodore is a very coveted vehicle there. THEY LOVE IT and Holden sells the hell out of it. As far as competition for the Camaro, possibly, but the choice is pretty easy. Do you want a 4 door with more space or a 2 door for looks?

                        I tell you this, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if the price was right and assuming they don't clearance out the G8's at the end of this year....

                          I actually prefer it to be called the Commodore.

                          That is what it is and what it should of been called all along.

                            The thing is both cars are for performance, i can only assume the commodore will be the same price as the g8. The g8 sure was a popular car amongst us car loving people but fell face first when it came to everyday consumers.

                            Its just unnecessary competition amongst the company.
                            Why spend 30k on a four door sedan when you can get a mailbu for 20k or something similar? (coming from a everyday consumers stand point)

                            Just a poor investment in my opinion.

                              Any bets on the chance that it gets a 6.4l powerplant in the future?

                              I'm just saying, i think it would sell huge with the rich geeks if the back namplate says, "Commodore 6.4"
