My bad, rebadged GM vehicles then. Do you think the so called "Astrommodore" would be successful? I mean, sure, it'd only be there to cater to the niche driving enthusiast market, but so is the Mazda MX-5, which is the best selling roadster in the world and has been produced for almost 30 years.

Not exclusively rebadged Opels. The Colorado is a rebadged version of the Thai-market Chevrolet Colorado, the Colorado7 is a rebadged Thai-market TrailBlazer, the new Astra sedan is a rebadged Chevrolet Cruze, the Barina is a rebadged Chevrolet Aveo/Sonic, the Captiva is a rebadged version of the Chevrolet of the same name, the Trax is a rebadged version of the Chevrolet model of the same name, the upcoming Equinox is a rebadged version of the Chevrolet model of the same name, and the upcoming Acadia is a rebadged version of the GMC of the same name.

Only the Astra hatch and wagon, Commodore and Commodore Tourer, and Spark are rebadged Opels.

So, it's really a mix of rebadged Opels, Chevrolets, and a GMC.

It still saddens me to think both the Commodore and Falcon have been taken out of production. Ford Australia is gone while Holden will exclusively sell rebadged Opels.

People have fallen out of love for sedans, especially 5-meter, two-ton behemoths of which the most economical engine is a V6. Although the Falcon got a 2.0 EcoBoost in it's final model years, but still.

I wonder, what if they made a smaller, lighter and cheaper version? It'd be the same size as an Astra and it would use the same engine lineup, including the diesels, just mounted longitudinally. Just imagine an OPC version.

Add a ute version without fancy gizmos, put in one of the forementioned diesel engines and you've got an economical workhorse. The demand for these types of trucks is very high, but nobody's supplying. Probably because of the infamous US chicken tax.

Regardless, market it as an affordable sports sedan and have a team of specialists tune the suspension to make it a blast to drive without even exceeding the speed limit.

It'd be a much more practical alternative to an MX-5 and a cheaper one compared to a BMW.

Though, to burst my own bubble, most people would still buy "SUVs" and "crossovers" like the horrible Peugeot 3008, but an Astrommodore (excuse the crap name) would be a solid alternative to those containers, wouldn't it?

Definitely one of the more interesting new-to-the-series cars, and something you wouldn't find in other games. Would love to see a 4-door version of this gen Commodore!



Forza did have the Pontiac GTO and Vauxhall Monaro from this gen of the Commodore. If only they bring those models back in 7.
