Would you buy a Holden today?

New fun family car time. When we arrived in Oz just over 2 years ago I fancied buying a big banger V8 Commodore, but of course needs must and we got a sensible Honda while we found our feet in a new country. Now that - there they are! - we have found our feet, I'm thinking again of a car that is reasonable family friendly but also has a wee bit of pistonheads appeal - so the Commodore V8 comes onto the radar again.

Obviously since 2019 Holden has passed away / been euthanised. Does anyone have any thoughts on the pros and cons of buying a used (VF) Commodore today - especially in respect of ongoing relaibility, parts availability, and servicing?

And can someone simply explain the logic of the Caprice/Calais/billions of sporty-sounding submodel names?
