Holden has unveiled its VE Commodore Sportwagon at the Sydney Motor Show. Based on the VE Commodore Sedan, the Sportwagon adds a bit more functionality yet retains the Sedan’s sporty nature. While technically a concept, Holden officials say the show car is basically the same car that will be available at Australian dealerships during the first half of 2008.
Although Holden didn’t release any details about the Sportwagon’s powertrain options — which are expected to mirror those offered in the Commodore Sedan — the wagon did showcase an E85 engine featuring GM’s Active Fuel Management. Holden also kept quiet about the wagon’s pricing, which is expected to be announced closer to the car’s launch.
The U.S. will see a version of the Commodore Sedan — in the form of the Pontiac G8 — but GM has no official plans to bring the wagon variation to the U.S. It has also been rumored that GM will bring the El Camino-esque Commodore Ute to our shores, although nothing has been confirmed.
