Holden Commodore
The Holden Commodore is a car manufactured since 1978 by Holden. Manufacturing of the Commodore takes place in Australia and formerly in New Zealand. In the mid-1970s, Holden replaced the long-serving Kingswood and Premier nameplates with a smaller, Opel-based model re-engineered for Australian conditions. This continued until 2006 with the launch of the fourth and final generation Commodore, which employed an Australian developed platform.
Initially introduced as a single sedan body style, the range expanded in 1979 to include a station wagon. From 1984, Holden began branding the flagship Commodore model as Holden Calais, with the Commodore Berlina introduced in 1984 gaining independent Holden Berlina nomenclature in 1988. Long-wheelbase Statesman/Caprice derivatives and Commodore utility body variants followed in 1990. The third generation architecture spawned the most body styles, with a new Holden utility launched in 2000 (now officially as the Holden Ute), reborn Monaro coupé in 2001, four-door Holden Crewman utility and all-wheel drive Holden Adventra crossover in 2003.
Rivalry came predominantly from the Ford Falcon—also locally built. Prior to the 1988 second generation Commodore onwards, the Holden was positioned a full class below the full-size Falcon. To varying degrees, competition also came from standard and wide-body mid-size offerings Toyota Australia and Chrysler, which morphed into Mitsubishi Motors Australia. Moreover, between 1989 and 1997, federal government policy saw the launch of the Toyota Lexcen, which was a rebadged version of the second generation Commodore. With the introduction of the third generation Commodore in 1997, Holden implemented its largest export programs involving Commodore and its derivatives. In the Middle East, South Africa and Brazil, the Commodore sold as a Chevrolet. High-performance export version followed in North America, sold as Pontiac and later Chevrolet, in the United Kingdom sold as Vauxhall.
In December 2013, Holden announced that it will cease production its local production by 2017 committing, however, to use long-standing Commodore nameplate on a future fully imported replacement.
