Beyond VF: Holden Keeps Rear-drive Commodore Hopes Alive

Design chief says a front-dragging layout for the next Commodore is no sure thing.

A rear-drive layout is still an option for the next all-new Commodore, one of the car’s chief architects has confirmed.

Holden is already narrowing down the design of the next Commodore, which will drop its Australian-designed heritage for a GM global flavour.

The carmaker’s chief designer, Richard Felazzo, told Carsales.com.au that work on the next Commodore had started even as the first plans for the VF Commodore unveiled this week were drafted, and that several three-dimensional models of the new car had already been developed.
