Holden Commodore (VP)

The Holden Commodore (VP) was a full-size car built by Holden from 1991 to 1993, the second iteration of the second generation of the Commodore, with the luxury variants Holden Berlina and Holden Calais. Released in September 1991 shortly after the Ford EB Falcon, it brought mainly cosmetic and feature changes to the VN. The 3.8 litre V6 and 5.0 litre V8 were carried over, with the V6 revised for refinement and two kilowatts more power, and the 2.0 litre four cylinder offered in some export markets was dropped. Semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension became standard on the Calais and SS and optional on lower models, greatly improving ride and handling. A utility variant followed in February 1992, a badge engineered version was sold as the Toyota Lexcen T2, and the Calais was also sold in Thailand.
