We had a look across the holden vz commodore to see what attracts people to tthis vehicle and found the following.While the shape of tail lights across the entire range remains the same, each model gets its own inserts ranging from fairly bland on the Executive to Monaro-esque on the SS. The active select feature also goes into the SV6 automatic, but this model’s main feature is that it’s the only model with both the 190kW V6 and the new six-speed manual transmission. The SS and SV8 get the new look and a little extra power, but overall they have less changes due to the retention of the Gen III V8, T56 six-speed manual, or four-speed auto.The VY Commodore brought a new dashboard fascia and other interior upgrades and given the fact that the VZ upgrade has concentrated on drivetrains and, to a lesser extent, exterior styling, not much has been changed inside.Seat trims have been changed across the board, for instance, and that strange silvery plastic bump atop the centre of the dashboard has been transformed into a lidded storage compartment on Calais and Berlina. There are also instrument graphics, and a digital speedo has been included on the trip computer display.Apart from these touches the VZ intsidess should be familiar to anyone who’s been in a Commodore. That means the driver’s seat has power height adjustment and the steering column adjusts for rake and reach. All the switchgear is large, accessible and virtually idiot-proof and there’s storage space aplenty scattered about the cabin.The back seat is wide and generous in its leg room, and the boot is suitably family-sized There’s also electronic brake assist to increase levels of braking and cornering brake control, which makes braking smoother when wheels are rotating at different speeds around corners.The 4L60 four-speed auto may continue on the biggest selling models, but a new torque converter and a control module capable of processing vastly more data than before are aimed at improving shift quality and consistency, and provide a better link between engine and driver.
