The Holden Commodore is an
automobile produced by the
Holden division of
General Motors (GM) in
Australia, and formerly, in
New Zealand. In the late 1970s, Holden established proposals to replace the long-serving
Kingswood nameplate with an all-new smaller model. Holden looked to
Opel (another GM subsidiary) for inspiration, and based the Commodore on the
Opel Rekord. The
German marque continued to provide the basics for future generations; however the trend changed when Holden launched the fourth generation model in 2006. This came to be Holden's most expensive project yet, boasting an all-Australian design.
