Default Lack of Commodore is dead articles.

Doesn't it just give ya the *****?

I've been hankering for some real Holden trashing be the media. But it's not happening. I'm not surprised... but I did hold out a hope.

Only GoAuto report the facts though. It makes me angry that sensationalist media controls and manipulates what is reported on in this country.

that's my rant over with.

I can't understand why anyone would want the commodore to die. It supports thousands of workers who have families; they don't deserve to end up with nothing.
I understand rivalry; after all we are the Blue Corner. But I would hate to see commodore or Holden for that matter dead. Just as much as I would hate to see ford or falcon die. The media has been less than kind to ford but willfully wanting articles depicting Holden bashing is pretty....stupid, IMO.

That's a condescending high-horse post if I've ever seen one.

Holden HAVE announced that the current Commodore architecture is being discontinued, and replaced, and yet this isn't reported.

Ford don't saying anything, and the first title you always see is 'Falcon being Axed' despite no confirmation from anywhere.

It's lop-sided agenda-serving reporting. It's self-fulfilling prophecising - if the journalists say that the Falcon is axed enough times, eventually everyone will believe it and it will happen, despite the fact that absolutely nothing is confirmed and EVERYTHING YOU READ about Falcon is just speculation.

Commodore is one of the best selling cars and there was a recently announced 1.3billion investment in manufacturing. If either of those things wasn't the case you would be reading Commodore is dead articles.
