Mark's had a bit of coffee before the show started... it's called a Buick Regal in the USA maybe thats why....still I don't know who's going buy it and $34,000 for the base model you might as well just called it Opel Insignia not a real Commodore and already its got to be recalled due to not good seatbelts 26/ 04 /18.. also Dick Johnson has announced they're going to Go with a Mustang .... this is going to make it interesting for the poor little opal
GMH took a shitty German car and reengineered it into a shitty Australian car. BUT a lot better than what it started as. Now we just get the shitty German car. Which are thin on the ground in Europ as well. Meanwhile Bimmers and Audis everywhere.
Not a Commodore, its a Opel Insignia. Road version is FWD 4 pot, or NA V6, nothing like race car which has V8. You cant buy V8 Insignia. So give it up Mark.
Where were those days that road and racing versions had the same kind of drivetrains? Now Nissan Altimas and Holden ZB Commodore have laid insults to V8 Supercar fans.
Interesting info, it's a shame they make all the cars the same these days. It makes the races very dull and hard to get interested in. Bring back proper factory racing, race what you produce.
Sorry, the fundamental difference is not the fact, that it is a hatchback. It has pathetic engines, auto only transmission and offered only in FWD or AWD.
Drive these embarassment to the holden name to the tip...while they still run! If we wanted a disposable car like this we might as well buy a hyundai or Kia, they are about 2/3rds the price and have more street cred!
He knows a ton about these cars, the technical side and presents extremely well, all ad libbed with no hesitation, umms or ahhs, very hard to do well
Just Awesome to see Mark back talking about our great Touring car series
Still reckon it needs to be called an Insignia.
It should be called the extra large astra.
@@trewqpoiutl9774 uhm, no.
Here in America that’s called a Buick Regal
My question is what type of tape do they use to cover up the gaps around the headlights to reduce the car drag
That "commodore" still has one advantage.
Cut it in half and it still ran.
Cons? No v8 and skids for ya!
I actually really like the look of the new Commodore, unlike everyone else...
Nathan Smith Same here, they look awesome!
Doesn't matter how good you think they look, they don't look like Commodores
same
@@Sh3rk69 look at you ya bogan
@@Mrlimbus2060 I guarantee you don't own a car
LS Swap it and do a drivetrain conversion.
This is why we can't have nice things
im guessing you're a child who plays a lot of forza
@@EnVyRe4per LS Swap is so common that you don't need Forza to tell you about it.
i missed mark's personality
It’s good to have him back on the coverage
This should have been DTM after the demise of class one instead of stupid GT3's
no

David Bell it's ok Holden is going with the henarsey Camaro so look out mustang
The Vb and vc where from Germany

LDN Wholesale there’s insignias everywhere in Europe.
Vb and vc "were" based on a German car, it's a shame we didn't get a coupe as a body option.
Based on a German design.......but made entirely by Holden with very high local content. Body and mechanicals all manufactured locally.
True but they were rear wheel drives
And then the mustangs came along.lol
parity?
I think Larko needs a fine for touching the teams cars.
V8 for race car? Or just a 6?
Mark Rabone they are running the vf v8 platform underneath the v6tt has been scrapped
The ZB would be alright if it was a v8 from factory.
Not a Commodore, its a Opel Insignia. Road version is FWD 4 pot, or NA V6, nothing like race car which has V8. You cant buy V8 Insignia. So give it up Mark.
shut up mate

And They are
Needs to be called igsingnea
try again
@@nathanielpillar8012🤣
So basically they take some German car and change every panel on it and call it a Commodore to go racing in...ummm nah get fucked
This is an Opel
And they still lost the championship 2 years in a row in those shit boxes 😂😂😂😂
they actually did alright in 2018, as 2-5 in the drivers championship standings were all commodores. 2019 not so much ahaha
Then SVG won 2 in a row

Opel OPEL OPEL! COMMODORE. Holden fans always gave shit to Vauxhill for rebadging. How the tables have turned. SUCKED IN
Not made in Australia car doesn’t deserve the commodore name plate!!
Or the holden name
Not rear wheel drive on road versions don't deserve the Commodore name.
First the Commodore is an Insignia and should've keep the Insignia name and SECOND... it's a LIFTBACK!
Fake cars. Tail lights n badge only from originals.
Drive these embarassment to the holden name to the tip...while they still run!
If we wanted a disposable car like this we might as well buy a hyundai or Kia, they are about 2/3rds the price and have more street cred!
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Red bull and the rest of the Holden. GO the might mustang 🔵⚪️
they were cheating and couldn't win
No
Wolfie Wraps yes Opel rekford
The weakest 🔗 "poor 3.6 V6 engine 👎 Holden &GM should out the twin turbo V6 engine instead, what's waste of car.....
This could've been a okish car if they still had a v8 rear drive option but nope apparently we need to be nice to the bloody environment
I mean we sorta do have to be nice to the environment, we DO live in it
