This frees up more room for storage, including two big cupholders and storage bins fore and aft on the console, which is lit by “ice blue” ambient lighting. Outside, the VF Commodore’s sheetmetal is all new forward of the A-pillars and rear of the C-pillars. The bonnet and boot are now fashioned from aluminium alloy to save weight, with the bonnet getting a more prominent raised profile, while the rear of the vehicle echoes these stronger lines. Unsurprising, the effect is rather Chevrolet, with the American brand getting the same sheetmetal in its SS version that will be exported from Australia to North America later this year. Holden’s chief designer for creative design, Work and play: Holden’s latest Ute has a new nose, but unchanged sheetmetal at the rear. Richard Ferlazzo, said his team had raised the bar on the Commodore, keeping the strong elements of the VE – such as the pronounced front wheelarches – but adding greater sophistication. Calais gets a large chrome grille, but other models, including the SS and base Commodore, will get unique front and rear styling treatments, especially around the front air openings. Mr Ferlazzo said the design had been “tuned to the nth degree” to improve aerodynamic performance, and while he and other Holden executives would not divulge fuel economy figures, he said engineers had been getting “some great numbers”. As expected, the fuel economy will be enhanced with a new electric-assisted power steering system that was one of the fuel-saving features developed for Commodore with a $39.8 million federal government Green Car Innovation Fund co-development grant. 6 /16
