 The reengineering of the wagon specific fuel tank was not finished in time for the VK's release, requiring around another eight months.The 2.85-litre six-cylinder and the 4.2-litre V8, mainstays of the previous Commodore ranges were dropped, hence unavailable to the VK.However, Holden's 1.9-litre "Starfire" inline-four unit was offered on New Zealand market VK models.
