2007-01-23 -- Holden's all new Holden VE Commodore has received top honours at the prestigious Wheels Car of Year awards evening held at an industry function in Melbourne earlier tonight.

Judged on performance, fuel economy and value for money, Wheels judges put 21 of the best new models of 2006 through their paces. After the magazine's gruelling six day test program the Holden VE Commodore emerged victorious.
Launched in July 2006, the all-new Holden VE Commodore was the largest single automotive program in Australia's history and helped Commodore remain Australia's most popular car, a title it has held for eleven consecutive years.

Holden invested over one billion dollars in the Holden VE Commodore program to ensure the car delivers exceptional ride and handling, performance, quality, more technology and more features than ever before at a point of unquestionable value.

Holden's Chairman and Managing Director, Denny Mooney, said the win as the perfect start to 2007.

"This is certainly a fantastic honor," Mr Mooney said.

"The award gives much deserved recognition to everyone at Holden who worked so hard on making the Holden VE Commodore range a success.

"We are in no doubt that this was an incredibly tough award to win. The competition was tough and the judging criteria is of an extremely high standard.

"We designed, engineered and manufactured this range to meet world class standards and to be able to compete against some of the most expensive and most carefully crafted cars around the world. Winning this highly respected award is recognition that we achieved these objectives."

Holden adds this win to the growing list of accolades for the Holden VE Commodore:

* Winner: MOTOR Bang For Your Bucks (VE Commodore SS)
* Winner: News Ltd Car Of The Year (VE Calais V)
* Winner: Drive.com People's Choice Award (VE Commodore SS V)
* Nominated: World Car Of The Year

Started in 1962, Wheels Car of the Year is Australia's original new car award and the longest continuously-running award of its type in the world.
