After reading the Sunday Age I was shocked that the new Commodore's have a black box, data recorders. GMH won't tell you this when they sell you one (unless you ask). If you have an accident in a new Commodore they (Insurance, Police, Accident Investigators) will retrieve this Data and if you we're doing anything wrong , are in BIG SHIET !!!, it will record your speed, if you we're braking, accelerating, whatever!!!. In the USA they are having huge dramas with the Insurance companies demanding this data, before settling any claim. If you were over the set speed limit and had an accident, and the Insurance get a hold of this data, you are screwed. What do you guys think ? Welcome to the future !!!

yep holden have spent 1 billion dollars in this thing and about 6 years in the making...
after seeing my first one this weekend and sitting in the ss my personal opinion is that they must have spent the las 10 bucks on the outside looks as the body on the thing is way too chunky and fatt assed looking it has no vigorous shape and lacks excitement dont bother getting me started on it 4wd style ride height...
about the only thing thats likeable in the new commodores is the 6.0 litres of chevrolet muscle with the 6 speed autos

do they record just the speed on impact or does it record several minutes before the "accident".
would this be enough to "prove" that you were breaking the law?
what if the car before the accident was aquaplaning, or had wheel spin and went over the speed limit - the insurance companies would jump to the conclusion that you were breaking the law and not cover you......
im sure they are very high-tech and would be able to workout whether ^^ did happen...

makes you laugh..I would have thought if you owned the vehicle .. you owned the interlectual property rights to the vehicle as well, if this is true that the vehicles are merely a way for the powers to be to collate information surely we should get paid for the priviledge.
