Special Edition Commodore SVZ Ute And Wagon

Behold, the next El Camino. Ok, maybe not — but Holden's dropping a not-so-special special edition of its Brick House Commodore ute and wagon. This bad boy's called the SVZ, and it's the second model year for this variant edition with the executive trim level as its base. If you're in the land of Mick Dundee, you'll be able to get the ute-version of this chromium variant cover purple people-eater in a six-speed manny tranny from $29,990 and in a five-speed auto transmission from $30,990 — with both versions getting the High Output Alloytec V6 engine. There's also the wagon version of the SVZ with a starting price of $32,490 with a four-speed automatic transmission — but who the heck would ever want that when you can get a nuevo El Cam-looking thing in purple with a manual transmission for just a couple grand less? Oh, well, we didn't think about whether or not you had a family...yeah, we dunno nothing about that. Full press release below the jump.
