New Euro-sourced Commodore hits the roads of Europe…
Another step towards the Australian arrival of the all-new 2018 Holden Commodore has been made with the European version of the vehicle being launched.
Known as the Opel Insignia Grand Sport in Europe, Holden today said the new car is ready to bring new levels of luxury, refinement and technology to Europe, and then Australia.
2018 Holden Commodore Key Facts:
- Co-developed with Holden

Brett Vivian, Holden’s Executive Director of Engineering, says the Insignia has launched to positive reviews in Europe.
And he says now Holden is finalizing the local settings for the model.
“We’ve been involved with the new Commodore’s development from the very beginning and have been working to tune to the specific tastes of Aussie buyers who like responsive steering and sporty suspension, yet composed ride quality when cruising.
“These are the hallmarks of Commodore and we are going to deliver again with the next-gen car.”

the headline sounds so weird .holden commodore launched in Europe .seriously since when does a Holden launch in Europe and not in Australia . this is clearly not a Holden commodore no matter what GM say ..rather by a Skoda than buy some foreign import with an Aussie badge on it
Yes a whole new era for Commodore, how do you think it will go Rolly?
