The Chevrolet SS sport sedan, once referred to as the four door Corvette by GM boss Mark Reuss, has officially come to the end of its lifecycle as the final Chevy-badged Holden Commodore has rolled off of the assembly line in Elizabeth, Australia.

The Ford Mustang has proven to be very popular in the few short months that it has been available in Australia, with everyone including local police departments lining up to get their hands on the high performance American muscle car.

General Motors has announced that their Australian sold Holden VF SS V Redline Ute has claimed the title of being the quickest truck around the famed Nürburgring – although many Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ford SVT Lightning F150 owners will question the legitimacy of the title since the Holden Ute is a very different “truck” than those American sold go-fast pickups.

We have known for months now that GM would be launching a diesel powered Chevrolet Cruze for the US market and it appears as though the new Cruze Eco-D will make its grand debut in nine days at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.

Talk about a classic resurrection. Holden has gone back to the future, restoring its first concept car – the 1969 Holden Hurricane - for the 2011 Motorclassica in Australia.

The new Series II, Holden Captiva 5 and Captiva 7 models to include high-performing, new-generation gasoline and diesel engines.
