MOTOR is proud, but sad, to present our ‘goodbye to the Commodore’ issue, as we’ve worked hard to bring you 60 extra pages of Aussie Holden content.

It’s hard to do justice to 69 years of Holden manufacturing some of the best cars Australia has produced, but we reckon our look back is a good way to farewell the Aussie car.

So, without delay, here’s your look at our November issue.
