HOLDEN'S VT Commodore introduced new levels of refinement, styling, safety and comfort to the family car market. The buying public responded by making it the most successful Holden since the HQ from the early 1970s. The VX was introduced nearly three years on, its intention to provide a more significant model differentiation, address some mechanical and specification issues and - of course - maintain the car's hold on the new car market. Acclaim is the family model, with an emphasis on standard safety features.

Family Tree: CommodoreAlthough it only seemed to have a short one-year life, the VSII can actually be traced back to the 1993 VR series Commodore, which saw the introduction of the safety-oriented Acclaim version. The VSII used the higher-output 147kW V6 engine introduced with the VS in 1995.
