WITH substantial mid-life models of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon due within 12 months, both local manufacturers are working hard to build momentum in the lead-up to their new releases. In the case of Holden, its VXII Commodore has made some important suspension improvements to an otherwise mild facelift. The base-model Executive still lacks the equipment level of the Falcon equivalent (Forte), however the fitment of an alarm, improved interior ergonomics and trim, plus better rear-drive handling characteristics all bode well for continued success.
