It's quite possible the 6th gen will wear Holden badges at some point. But at the same time, development of the Commodore after VF is already underway. The big question will be if it retains its traditional RWD drivetrain.
Report from Autoblog:
"As for the Commodore – that one product line actually engineered and built by Holden in Australia – reports indicate that it (or at least its nameplate) could continue past 2017 as a shared program with Buick to be built in China. The new Commodore would likely have a front-drive layout with a four-cylinder engine, though Holden executives are reportedly pushing for a V6. Just what that means for the Chevy SS, Caprice PPV and the future of GM's rear-drive platform altogether remains to be seen, but we're starting to fear the worst."

Oh Oh! That's not good.
