Holden has axed the Commodore nameplate from its 2020 line-up, ending a badge that carries more than 41 years of history in Australian motoring culture. 9News

Holden's Interim Chairman and Managing Director, Kristian Aquilina said the decision to end the association of the name Commodore with Australian motoring was not easy.

Despite not being made in Australia, the ZB Commodore received good reviews but missed the mark for Australian families keen on SUVs and dual-cab utes. The ZB Commodore has delivered atrocious new car sales for Holden, with the manufacturer projected to move just 8,700 new units out of dealerships in 2019.Sales and deliveries of Commodore and Astra will continue through 2020, albeit with diminishing model availability as part of an orderly runout.Existing Commodore and Astra customers can be assured that Holden will continue to back warranty and roadside assistance commitments, with spare parts supply guaranteed well into the future.
