It was the Opel Commodore and Vauxhall Viceroy that formed the basis for the first '''[[Holden Commodore]]''' in Australia, and was sold in [[South Africa]] as the '''Chevrolet Commodore''' until 1982, when it was rebadged as an Opel. The South African Commodore was introduced in July 1978, at the same time as the Rekord E went on sale there.<ref>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/hugo90/4387543017/in/gallery-40382690@N05-72157623402790525/ Chevrolet Commodore]</ref> These originally had [[Chevrolet Turbo-Thrift engine|Chevrolet engines]], pushrod inline-sixes of 3.8 or 4.1&nbsp;liters.<ref name=TAM85>{{Cite book | title = Quattroruote: Tutte le Auto del Mondo 1985 | editor = Mastrostefano, Raffaele | publisher = Editoriale Domus S.p.A | ref = TAM90 | year = 1985 | pages = 186–187 | language = it | location = Milano | isbn = 88-7212-012-8 }}</ref> Sold as a standard or a GL (with the 4.1 only available as a sedan with automatic transmission), the South African version replaced the earlier [[#Foreign assembly|Chevrolet 3800 and 4100]], also based on the Commodore.<ref name=CarZA0778/>
