General comments?

This Vehicle is poorly designed.

The suspension feels like I'm driving a bus.

However drivers position is good, plenty of leg room for the driver and passenger.

The commodore would have been good if most of the commodore turbo running gear had been used on the basic executive models.

Holden went a little wild with the color of the interiors. (everything in my commodore's interior is color coded blue except the dash!)
