"The first California boatload or two of 2005's is sitting on the docks at Benecia, CA (Bay Area). GM is holding them and plan to start to trickle them out to dealers, for arrival in late
January. They want to clear out as many of the '04's as possible...
The 2005's will be a short model year (only building about 12,000 cars,

May/June for arrival during the "normal" new car arrival period of
August/September.'
Question,
Is the '06 planned to be built in the Holden Elizabeth
Plant also .i.e. will it be the Australian Commodore based model again?

The VZ Commodore is currently on sale in Oz and it forms the basis for
the Zeta platform on which the next-gen GTO, G8, Buick VElite coupe and
unnamed sedan, and future Chevy coupe (Chevelle? Camaro? Monte Carlo?)
and sedan (3rd-gen Impala?) will be based on..."
Hope this is good info if not delete it,
Thanks,
