Holden's new VE Commodore, developed at a cost of more than $1 billion, has been nominated for the World Car of the Year Award and is the only Australian-made vehicle among the 28 finalists.

The award, presented by a worldwide jury of motoring journalists, is judged according to styling, performance, handling, comfort, value, safety and environmental responsibility.

 

To be eligible, a new car must be available in a minimum of five countries on at least two continents.

 

The Commodore is sold in Australia and exported to countries including New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Lebanon, Oman, Fiji and South Africa.

Like the Australian equivalent of putting a man on the moon!!! :happy feet:

 

We'd probably turn that trip it into a kegger too, LOL.

 

Seriously, even if it does't place that high, it's still a good accomplishment.
