Holden ZB Commodore VXR Liftback (2018)

            For seventy year, Holden built cars in Australia, for Australia as part of General Motors global empire. Since 1978, this was the Holden Commodore, originally launched as an 'Intermediate' sized car.

In October 2017, production in Australia ceased. Australia lost 'Australia's own'. Lost RWD, lost V8s.

There is a new Commodore, the ZB. Built in Germany by former GM division Opel, now part of PSA. The car uses a Turbo four-cylinder or naturally aspirated V6, along with either FWD or all-wheel-drive.

Underdog.

This is the name you give to a competitor who has a lot of things going against them. 

This is the new Commodore. To say that it is struggling would be fair - the model now sells approximately 600 units per month whereas the final year of RWD Commodore (the VFII), the car sold approximately 3,000 units per month, placing it close to the top of the Australian sales ranking.

Is it a bad car? - No. But nobody cares anymore.

This miniland-scale ZB Holden Commodore has been created for Flickr LUGNuts 11th anniversary to the 10th build challenge theme, - "Sympathy for the Underdog", - for 'underdogs'.
