ʻO ka Holden Commodore ʻaʻole i loaʻa! ʻO ke kaʻa huna, ka cab chassis a me Subaru Outback-style SUV he mau makahiki ma mua o ko lākou manawa, a ua hoʻohuli paha iā Holden i lalo a kākau hou i kona wā e hiki mai ana.

ʻAʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻo Holden i kahi mana i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia o ka Commodore V-car kumu, akā ua hoʻokokoke loa ʻo ia iā ia. (Kiʻi kiʻi: William Vicente)

Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi kiʻi hou i ʻike ʻia i nā hiʻohiʻona Holden i ʻike ʻole ʻia, inā ua hoʻokomo ʻia lākou i ka hana i nā makahiki 1980 ma mua o ka hoʻolei ʻia ʻana, ua hiki ke hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka mōʻaukala GMH a hiki ke hoʻololi i ke kaʻa ʻohana Australia.

Ma hope o kahi noi pālolo piha piha no ka 1981 VH Commodore i hōʻole ʻia, ua hoʻokomo pū lākou i nā kaha kiʻi o kahi pono Commodore a me kahi pā kala hoʻokahi ma hope o ke kumu hoʻohālike, a me kahi ʻano o kahi crossover hoʻokiʻekiʻe e kau ana ma luna. kekahi pa.

Hoʻokumu ʻia ke kino a me ke kaʻa kaʻa ma luna o ka hanauna mua Commodore V-kaʻa sedan a me ke kaʻa (VB/VC/VH/VK/VL mai 1978 a 1988) a lawe pū i kahi "V-Truck" i makana. inoa i mea hoike.

ʻO nā kiʻi i paʻi ʻia ma ke keʻena hoʻolālā o GMH ma Fisherman's Bend ma kahi o ka hopena o 1979 a i ʻole 1980 mua, i ka wā e kūʻai mau ana ka VB Commodore, e hōʻike ana ua hoʻolālā ʻo Holden e hoʻokuʻu i nā mana kālepa o ka Commodore a puni ka waena o 1980s (ka VK Commodore era).

Ua hōʻole ʻia kēia noi pālolo no ka VH Commodore. (Kiʻi: Holden)

ʻO kēia paha nā mea pani no nā kaʻa a me nā kaʻa WB Kingswood e kūʻai ana i ko lākou manawa i kēlā manawa, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻokumu ʻia lākou ma ka 1971 Kingswood HQ, no laila ua ʻelemakule lākou i ka manawa i paʻi ʻia ai kēia kiʻi. makahiki.

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i hiki mai ka V-Truck a me Tray, a ua hoʻomau ʻo Holden i kahi hāʻule nui o ke kūʻai ʻana mai ka laina Ford Falcon, me ka XD-XF Falcon ute a me ka van hou loa, no ka mea, ua kahiko loa ka lineup WB kahiko. hoʻopaʻapaʻa pono—a hiki i ka manawa i kū ai ʻo GMH i ka panakalupa a, i Dekemaba 1986, ua koi ʻia ka hui makua ʻAmelika ʻo General Motors e hoʻopakele iā ia.

Hōʻike kēia mau hua Easter ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā ʻano pāʻoihana o ka Commodore no ka waena o 80s. (Kiʻi: Holden)

Hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia a hoʻopau ʻia i nā ʻaiʻē hiki ʻole ma hope o ka bailout kālā, ʻaʻole i hana hou ʻo Holden i ka hewa like ʻelua, e hoʻomaka ana i ka VG Commodore ute ma 1990, ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope o ka hoʻokomo ʻana o ka lua o ka hanauna VN Commodore, e pāʻani ana i kahi kuleana nui i ka rejuvenating i ka hui ma ka 1990s.

Ma muli o ke kaʻa kaʻa VN (e hoʻohana ana i kāna coil-spring hope hope - ʻo ke kaʻa puna wai mua ʻole o Australia ma hope), ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka VG ute ma ke ʻano he $10 miliona wale nō (e pili ana i $ 20 miliona i 2021 kālā) - kahi liʻiliʻi. huina, i keia la hiki ole ke kuai redesigned taillights.

E hōʻailona iā ia: ʻAʻole i hiki mai ka hana mua Commodore ute a hiki i 1990 me ka VG. (Kiʻi: Holden)

ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia inā ua puhi ʻo Holden i ka ute rendering no ka VG, akā ua like ke ʻano o ka pā i ke kolu o ka hanauna Commodore-based ute, kahi pahu cab-and-chassis tray VY hoʻokahi kala i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2003-ʻoi aku ma mua o 20 makahiki ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o nā kiʻi kiʻi V-Truck.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka Commodore mokulele hoʻokahi-ton mua i 2003 me ka VY. (Kiʻi: Holden)

20+ makahiki ma mua o Adventra

I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka pīhoihoi o Holden i ka hāʻawi mua ʻana o Commodore, ʻo ka Commodore Wagon crossover, no ka nui o ka mea ma mua o ka mākeke ma '79/80.

ʻIke ʻia ka mana o 4WD ma waho o ke alanui, nā huila puʻupuʻu/puʻi, nā ʻaka poʻo, Land Rover Discovery style hale kiʻekiʻe a me nā kukui lewa e ʻike ʻia mai ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, e hōʻike ana he kaʻa Commodore 4WD kēia ma kahi o 15 mau makahiki ma mua o ka Subaru kumu. Outback 1996 mau makahiki a ʻoi aku ma mua o 20 mau makahiki ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kā Holden crossover VY Adventra ma XNUMX.

ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia ka Holden Adventra maoli a hiki i 2003 (hōʻike ʻia ʻo VZ). (Kiʻi: Holden)

ʻO kēia ka mea hoʻoikaika no Adventra? ʻOiai ua hāʻule ka hope ma ka mākeke i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka Ford Territory i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kekahi mau mahina ma hope o ka makahiki 2004 (ʻoiai ʻo ia wale nō ka SUV o Australia), ua ʻokoʻa paha nā mea inā loaʻa iā Holden nā kumuwaiwai (a me ka wiwo ʻole) e puka i waho. pae hou. i ka hoʻomaka a hiki i ka waena o 1980s me kēia.

ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa nā SUV i kēlā manawa, a ʻo ke kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa like like ʻole ʻo ka American Motors Concord 4WD a ma kahi liʻiliʻi, ʻo ka Subaru Leone 4WD station kaʻa liʻiliʻi. Ua kūʻai ikaika ʻia lāua ʻelua.

Inā paha ua hoʻokumu ʻia kēia manaʻo crossover Holden ma ka Commodore V-car station wagon a i ʻole ka V-Truck e pili ana mai kahi kiʻi hoʻonā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa he paʻakikī ke haʻi, no ka mea, ua like loa ia me ka mana nui o ka Matra Simca Rancho. — ʻoiai he kaʻa huila mua ia, ʻekolu-puka Ute-based proto-SUV i hana ʻia ma Farani mai 1977 a i 1984.

Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo Holden e Matra Simca Rancho? (Kiʻi: waihona)

Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana hou o ka mōʻaukala lōʻihi o Holden, he mea ʻawaʻawa ka ʻike ʻana i kēia kiʻi hou i ʻike ʻia. E like me nā hiʻohiʻona hana, ʻo ka hiki ke hoʻolilo i mea e pale ai i ka hāʻule nui ʻana o ka māhele mākeke a hoʻokuʻu iā GMH i nā mākeke hou momona i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua maopopo i ka nānā ʻana i hāʻawi ʻia i ka ratio 20/20, ʻoiai ʻo SUV e helu ʻoi aku ma mua o 50 pakeneka o ka. huina. kuai ma Australia ma 2021. a me nā kiʻi ma kahi o 25 pakeneka.

ʻO ka mea nui aʻe, hōʻike lākou ua loaʻa iā Holden ka ʻike a me ka manaʻo e wānana pololei i kahi e neʻe ai nā mea kūʻai kaʻa hou o Australia i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

ʻO ke kaʻa ma ka ʻaoʻao mua - he aha kā mākou e hana ai me ka hāʻawi ʻole ʻana o VH Commodore?

Ua hoʻopaneʻe ʻia ka ʻaoʻao ʻeono pukaaniani a hiki i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Kepakemapa 1981 o ka hana maoli VH sedan, akā mālama ʻia no kāna mea pani mua 1984 VK.

Manaʻo mākou ua hana pono ʻo GMH i ka hoʻohuli ʻana i ka hāʻawi ʻana no ka mea ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana o nā kukui poʻo o ka VB/VC ma mua o ka ʻoi aku o ka sloping a me ka sleeker mua o ka VH, ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia ka hope no ka "like" no nā kukui nui o Australia. . Ke kālepa nei nā mea kūʻai kaʻa i kā lākou Commodores mua, e hoʻonui ana i nā pilikia kūʻai o VH. Eia nō hoʻi, noho ʻino ka ʻili haiki a ʻaʻohe pono i ko mākou mau maka.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻike ʻia nā bumpers he kope plastik o nā ʻāpana kila a lākou i pani ai, e like me ka XD Falcon i kēlā manawa, no laila maopopo ke kumu i hoʻāʻo ai nā mea hoʻolālā o Holden me kēia.

E hoʻi i nā kiʻi pena ma ka paia… pehea kou manaʻo? Manaʻo paha ʻoe ua hoʻolālā a kūkulu ʻo Holden i ka VH-VK-VL era Commodore ute a me ka Adventra-style crossover?
