    GM's Holden subsidiary has pulled the wraps off a pair of new Commodore special editions. The Commodore SVZ Ute has the General's top-notch 3.6L VVT V6 underhood, pumping 255 horses through an optional 5-speed automatic, or slightly less if the driver is making the shifts through the standard 6-speed manual tranny. The SVZ package includes black leather, exclusive badging, 18" alloys, performance brakes, a full spare and a range of paint colors that includes the color-shifting Morpheous finish seen in the enclosed photos.

    Joining the Ute is the Commodore SVZ Wagon, which gets a powered-down 3.6 making 234 horses. Shifts come courtesy of a 4-speed automatic, and the car's list of features includes 17" alloys, foglights, a sport/luxury suspension, black headlamp surrounds, body color roof rails, chrome exhaust tip, and SVZ badging. This makes us want a V8-powered Pontiac G8 wagon to go head-to-head with the Dodge Magnum. Come on, General...do it! (And send the Ute over already while you're at it.)

    Complete pricing and specs are in the press release after the jump.

    UPDATE: As several have pointed out in the comments, these are both VZ cars, not the new VE models. The VE Ute is rumored to be debuting this summer.

    Well it isn't confirmed if the VE wagon is even going ahead. The utes have been spied undertest but not even a hint of a wagon. About the only thing Holden has said is they were looking at doing a sports wagon, and that was just before the VE launch!
