Holden, the Australian arm of General Motors, showed off this “Coupe 60″ concept version of its Commodore at the 2008 Melbourne Auto Show. As we all know, the Commodore sedan is sold in the Middle East as the Lumina. If this two-door car goes into production, it’ll be a direct replacement for the now-cancelled Lumina Coupe.

While the previous coupe was nothing more than a two-door version of the big four-door sedan designed by Holden engineers in their spare time, this new one actually rests on an obviously shortened platform, with a unique roofline and rear panels.

The cool interior shown here is just a modification of the existing four-door cabin, and we don’t expect it to make it to production.

    I hear the release version will not have exhausts out the side (It is illegal in Australia). This will probably also see release in america as pontiac before relase in austtralia (its home) as a holden
