After $1 Billion in development it would want to.

My ass..what a tax dodge.....

I mean at $10K profit a car..they would have to make 100,000 cars before they have break even.

Which equates to 2 years approx. production...especially at the rates they are going now.

Off the topic I know....

On the topic ...........I would much rather they advertise..the home grown...family....country tourer

that this car is.....large...able to do the job you bought it for...with great looks and styling.

Do you realise how many commodores they make? They are exported to the United States, United Arab Emirates, China....They do make a lot of commodores

And they sell the current model for more than one or two years... But I am sure they just made up the $1Billion dollar figure

It wasnt just $1b for the current model VE but everything involved in making the VE, also that chassis will continue on for a couple of years more yet.

For the streets i'd happly drive a VE SV6 or above over my r32 gtr any day.

havent seen the ad yet, but coming from a VE SS must say for 45K brand new it would have to be one of the best family cars with balls goin around. 13.4 quarter from factory is almost R33 GTR factory times !!!!!

But in saying that my old 94 model GTR with just an exhaust and air filters would tear the ass out of the VESS straight line or on the track..... GO THE BIG RED R !!!!!

I personaly like the SS ute commercial for holden and the evolution of the ute..... and the best bit at the end "Evolution ends here" ???? Now does this mean that they will no longer be making and new versions of the ute??? because i would say that if the evolution of the ute ends, then so does the ute. So go buy a new ute and when they bring out the next model, you can go and get a free upgrade as you bought the ute origionally knowing that it was the last because they said in the commercial that "Evolution ends here". so they made you buy it under false pretences..... sorry i was really bored and have a very overactive imagination. but you do see my point... its false advertising

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
