Actually that is a brilliant idea.
To increase build numbers they could make a "Taxi" version that was low performance, high economy factory lpg or hybrid, no unnecessary instrumentation and plastic seating that is sufficiently water proof that it can be hosed out.
So as not to deposition the domestic commodores it would be marketed as "Chevrolet Taxi" and have all lion badges replaced by factory bowties.
It would also help at night after a few drinks when you want a ride home look for the commodore with the bowtie and yell "HEY TAXI".
The law could be ammended so that "impersonating a taxi" becomes a "hoon offence" and any vehicles that are fitted with fake taxi bowties would be confiscated and crushed.
What a win win, more jobs building cars and at the same time attacking the hoon problem right in its core.
