Vale: Holden Commodore, 1978-2020

This week, Holden officially broke the news that many suspected was years in the making: the iconic Commodore will be axed in late 2020, alongside the Astra hatch. In a little over 12 months, one of Australia’s most popular cars will disappear from showrooms, with approximately 2.4 million cars sold. Over the last 42 years, one nameplate has implanted itself in the collective heart of the nation and become a cultural icon that’s seen vast political and societal change.
