Even if this had AWD and 500hp it still wouldn’t sell in volumes.

What they should have done with this “new” commodore is worked on a PHEV option to ensure it has some relevance in today’s market.

This car will flop and not because it doesn’t get to the next set of lights 0.5 secs quicker than a corolla, but because it doesn’t address market dynamics....just like its predecessor.
Agreed.

Just the marketing spiel I read on car advice yesterday touting it's performance.
It's sad to see, dunno how they can write it with a straight face.

As a daily driver that can get the kids to the beach it's ok.
But forget the vxr version.
