Still a purely cosmetic change required. The vents can stay and maybe lower spec models may have them there but have you seen a calais or calais v on the road yet. Holden may do as Honda has done with lower spec and upper specs. Also note only LT rodeo has repeaters in the chrome mirrors. Lower specs retain them in guard. All will be revealed 10.50am EST in Melbourne. Some fleet companies have already seen and driven prior to today including upper spec Calais and Caprice which have not been covered at all as yet. Think about it, there are people outside Holden who know what to expect.

Ofcourse others have seen it. It was only recently that the fleet owners DROVE the VE, a couple of months ago they saw it for the first time. The overwhelming questions are on fuel economy and resale value. Neither have been answered by Holden. Also, regarding the repeaters, I have seen Calais spy shots with the vents all covered up and there doesn't appear to be anything on the mirrors. The subject of mirror repeaters has been discussed here before and was ruled out.

All will be revealed inside 12 hours and 10 minutes. Never rule out anything.

They might sneak them in ?.

Do you what Holden's response to the resale value question was? They gave out crystal balls.
