Appears the public are rushing out to buy the VE Commodore.
But not the Magna 380??  Funny that :-) LOL...

Fuel prices may be high, but Australians still love a big car.

The launch last month of the new VE Commodore has catapulted the car
back to the top of the sales charts after falling behind the Toyota
Corolla the previous two months.

GM Holden boss Denny Mooney said he was happy with the first couple of
weeks of sales of the new VE Commodore and predicted they would beat the
Corolla to return to the top of the sales charts by next month.

However, the sales surge saw the family favourite return to the top in
August after just two weeks of VE sales.

Corolla beat Commodore in June by 903 and in July by 689, but VZ and VE
Commodore sales in August beat Corolla by 839.

And not everyone is buying the base model Commodore.

"We're seeing a richer mix with more interest in Calais and SS, than
base models," Mooney said. "Omega (the base model) will be a good fleet
car, but not necessarily the volume seller."

But don't expect major discounts on runout VZ Commodore stock.

Mooney said runout sales of the outgoing VZ Commodore sedan had gone
well with only about 1000 left.

He said the VZ ute, station wagon and Crewman would continue over the
next year and gradually be replaced by VE versions.

However, he said the launch next month of the Captiva sports utility
vehicle could spell the end for the fuel-guzzling all-wheel-drive VZ
Adventra.

"Some people still want wagons, but the Adventra is pretty low volume,"
he said.

He also said the Captiva would come with a more fuel-miserly diesel
engine "soon" but would not confirm whether it would be available from
launch.
