Wheels Magazine
Probably Australia’s best-known motoring magazine, Wheels serves a broad range of interests for car enthusiasts, putting it firmly in the best position to report on all aspects of the Holden Commodore – from its value as a family car to its ability to put a smile on your face.

MOTOR Magazine
If you want fast and fun cars, MOTOR is where you turn. What better magazine to cover off all things V8.
Whether SS or HSV, MOTOR has driven (or thrashed on track) and documented the high-performance sedans which kept our love of V8 muscle alive.
For our 50th birthday, we went for a celebratory lap of the map in a Commodore SS – and picked up a new record!

From VB to VFII, we gather the hottest-ever Holden Commodores - according to us – for the big hurrah at the end of the locally-made Commodore’s lifespan.

HSV is part of the reason Holdens have been going so fast all these years. In 2008 we compared road and race HSVs on track and Garth Tander crashed the road car!

In 30 years HSV had transformed and defined much of Australia's muscle car heritage, and it couldn’t have done it without Holden.

STREET MACHINE
Streetie has been writing about wild custom Commodores built for the street and the strip since the very beginning.
A rich history of custom culture means the team at SM is the best place to find out what enthusiasts with imagination can do with one of Australia’s icons.
Jet Martin's 4000hp VB Commodore
Jet Martin's version of the very-first Commodore is a state-of-the-art radial drag car, but wrapped in the original steel body. Powered by a 4000hp twin turbo big block, the VB won the $50,000 Grudge Kings race in Sydney earlier this year, before being shipped to the USA to take on the world's best. And the steel-body Commodore came through, winning the hearts of the yanks and finishing in the top eight at the fiercely-competitive No Mercy event in South Georgia.

Craig Morrow's VH is a fine example of what a high-end show and go street machine looks like in 2018. The car is bristling with innovative features, won the Tuff Street Champion gong at Street Machine Summernats 30 and is packing a lazy 1000hp thanks to a 427ci LS-based V9 that is topped by an intercooled Whipple supercharger.

History of the Holden Commodore part four: VE-VF models
There is a common trope online to dismiss the 40 year history of the Commodore because it was 'just an Opel'. This four-part series by Dave Carey takes this arguement apart piece by piece!
20
Commodores served many roles over their 40 year history, including as a tool of the highway patrol. This one has been restored to the hilt, is bristling with period accessories and has had a slight upgrade in the engine department.

ALLSHOW: 7-Second Holden VK Commodore
Early Commodores are very popular in the fast street car scene, but few are as fast - or as well presented - as Adam Rogash's VK Brock tribute.

The first Commodore launched on 26 October 1978 - almost 34 years ago. And it's hard to imagine any future local model ever generating the same level of excitement and anticipation again.
