the thing is holden would be ahead with the commodore in this case as they have been exporting E85 ethanol commies to brazil for a while now..... that is if we ever see the stuff at the bowser, which i doubt due to the petrol companies need to make stupendous amounts of money from you and I.

Not correct. The Commodores which were exported to Brazil were fitted with the old 3.8 liter engine. These engines were fitted with unique fuel rails, fuel injectors etc. The 3.6 liter Alloytech engine (which has nothing in common with the old 3.8) does not have an ethanol resistant variant. Hence why no VZ based Commodores have been exported to Brazil.
