Not wanting to keep us in the dark for too long, Holden has released a teaser image for their upcoming Commodore VFII, with a full reveal expected on September 13.
We don’t really know anything about this car, except for the fact that Holden used the tagline “Hearing is Believing” for it on social media, and that they also mentioned that it was “37 years in the making”, which basically means that it should be the best Commodore ever made.
The teaser is extremely discrete, yet we can easily make out the LED light strips which no longer seem to be surrounded by fog lights (probably to be positioned underneath like on HSV versions). We can also spot a slightly revised grille, but that’s as much as we can venture to say at this point.
And if “Hearing is Believing”, we should probably expect to hear at least a 6.0 liter V8 power unit under the hood of this Series II model, since they would probably not be saying that if all they had planned were V6 models.
With sales dipping just about every year since 2008, Holden definitely needs to bring a strong product to the table.
Also, considering that neither looks nor performance are an issue with this car, and since the general consensus is that “Commodores are great”, the new VFII probably needs to find a way to be more accessible and even more desirable for the masses.
