At the end of the day, ironically if Ford goes FWD/AWD on a global platform for Falcon, Holden could well end up having Commodore on an orphan Zeta platform, with the next make-over/upgrade being a rework of the current Zeta. Zeta was supposed to be GM's GRWD but RWD Impala was canned, the Pontiac exports (GTO & G8) canned after not meeting targets. The Police export contract is a long shot - they need strong police sales to build a case for civilian model (under the chevy badge) exports - ironically if police sales are too good, they may just end up making them in the St Thomas plant where the Camaro is currently assembled; though by 2013 Camaro is slated to move onto the smaller Alpha platform leaving Commodore as the sole Zeta car!
