| Drive Articles | | | New Gen IV for Holden Commodore | 2005-11-18 |  | Holden is set to fit an all-new V8 engine to its Commodore range by the end of December. Codenamed L76, the all engine displaces 6.0 litres and is also referred to as the Gen IV. The fourth generation "small-block" V8 was initially designed for use in various large off-roaders in the United States, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade. | | [Read Article] Last Updated: 2005-12-13 16:21:29 | Source: Drive |
| | The $1.5 million FJ | 2005-10-14 |  | Holden has produced its wildest concept car ever: a hot-rod version of the famous 1953 FJ, with more power than a V8 Supercar. Holden has surprised the media and public at each Sydney motor show since it unveiled the Commodore coupe in 1998. Unlike that car and the many concepts that followed, this vehicle - called the Efijy - is not destined for production. | | [Read Article] | Source: Drive |

| | Holden's hot hatch and Territory beater | 2005-10-13 |  | Holden's outrageous Efigy concept coupe may have stolen the limelight at the Sydney motor show with its 1930s custom rod looks and supercharged 6.0-litre V8 engine, but the S3X concept SUV is easily the most significant reveal for the local GM subsidiary. The S3X concept is a thinly disguised pointer to the 5- and 7-seat SUV Holden will launch in mid-2006 to tackle the strong selling Ford Territory in Australia's fastest growing market segment. | | [Read Article] | Source: Drive |
| | Monaro makes a getaway | 2005-09-07 |  | It's 1964, and a rangy young bloke by the name of John Crennan is driving an Aston Martin DB5 from its owner's men's wear shop in Balwyn to Holden's styling studio at Fishermans Bend. Unknown to the 20-year-old, he is playing a small role in the creation of a legend. In his position as a cadet in Holden's sales analysis department, a megalopolis that in those days covered everything from product planning to market research, the eager young Mr Crennan has been given the job of collecting five or six different coupe offerings for a highpowered directors' review to be conducted by then styling chief Joe Schemansky. | | [Read Article] | Source: Drive |

| | Wagons still the pride of the fleet ... for now | 2005-06-01 |  | Holden will continue selling its old Commodore wagon alongside the all-new VE sedan next year while it and arch rival Ford decide whether there is a future for the large locally made family wagon. The decision to keep the VZ wagon will mark the first time in the Commodore's 27-year history that Holden will sell the old-shaped wagon alongside an all-new sedan and reflects the dilemma both Ford and Holden are facing regarding the future of the wagon. | | [Read Article] | Source: Drive |
| | Holden VZ Monaro | 2005-02-04 |  | First they took our Vegemite. Then it was Arnott's bikkies. Now the Americans are going to pinch our Monaro - and maybe even our beloved ute, which has been part of the Australian landscape for more than 50 years. As Drive reported in November, it's likely that the Monaro will be built in the US from 2007 and other Commodore variants, such as the ute, may follow. | | [Read Article] Last Updated: 2005-12-23 11:51:42 | Source: Drive |

| | Hands off our Monaro! | 2004-11-26 |  | Holden is on the verge of losing assembly of the Monaro to the US. The new model, due in 2007, is expected to be built in one of several under-used General Motors factories in America. If assembly of the Monaro is moved from Australia it will be a cruel blow for the coupe that was built after visitors to the 1998 Sydney motor show lobbied Holden to bring the car to life. | | [Read Article] | Source: Drive |
