OMG

Did you like read my mind exactly man? I definately will be after a second hand GTS in 2-3 years after the VEC. Although I suspect Holden won't be doing the series II/III thing anymore.

I don't know if they WILL do a series 1/2/3 etc but I looked at this way.

Apparently, Ford will be releasing their all new Falcon in 2008. I suspect that Holden held off on the Engine technology so that they had something to fight that new car. Weather it is called a Series number or not - well maybe you're right.

This is the same sort of excitment that ford fans had when the BA falcon came out, 12 months later, everyone is over it, it will be the same for the holden commo.........

[ZC_74]

I agree to a point....
The only thing I think that works a bit more in Holden's favour compared to the time of the BA is the new technology going into the new Commodore.

another thing to take into concidiration, is how commedoores and large cars depreciate so quickly in value, sure the VE will hold its value more than other cars as its a new model but after a year 2 years, bang probebly loose bout 50%. astra will hold its value alot better, plus its an opel . i'd pick the astra over the VE as i said previously reason being its small, would be quite fun to drive, and it will hold its value very well, and its gona be alot more rare than the VE.

i did see 3 of the new commos on my way to work today, imagine how many of them there will be in just a few months.

would go the astra myself, but that's me

So rare = more desirable? I may concur if the car was exotic but it ain't. Just another hot hatch.

Tell him to buy an Mitsubishi 380 then if he wants rare - lol

hahaha thats a great call!!! I'm an astra man myself, so i woudl be going the VXR maily because i like small cars becuase they are easier to move about and park in those tight spots in the city!!

However it looks like you are leaning toward the commodore. Between the SS-V and Calais-V i personally would go for the Calais for the extra creature comforts and i think that they would hold a better re-sale value in the future over the SS.

Like most of the others have said, if going for the commo i would also wait for at least a year to give them the opportunity to iron out any problems since it is a new model.

Good luck mate with which ever way you go!!!
