I can garuntee that no one in Australia wants this car, and just as many in the US. But as stated previously GM will do what they are forced to do and want to do despite what a portion of the market wants them to do. Heck ford is killing the Falcon, THE FALCON in the same market. Do you think that they want to?
Honestly, Ford probably does. Falcon sales have been in the dump for a while now. Commodore's reigned supreme as the RWD king in Australia for years.

All we can do is hope the weird rumor regarding an NA-built 2nd gen Chevrolet SS being exported to Australia as a Commodore is more than just complete BS.
