Would anyone agree if I said that the calais looks better than the SS?

I'm with you, maybe its just cos I'm getting older, but i'm liking the understated muscular look of the calais much more then the boy racer SS

[fpv_gtho]

Boy race i.e. Riced Astra...

Well the things is, the Calais interior is much more appealing, the top mounted screen looks shite imho, a red-orange colour contrasting with the blue screen of the radio / HVAC control. Furthermore, hteres just this notion with me that I like the look of the Calais' class more than the try-hard SS. 20' rims are getting to be overkill lol.

Yep, Calais is nicer looking than the SS for sure.
A much more simple, cleaner design.

Definately....Calais-V looks quite classy and has that 'sophisticated' muscle look about it.

Check out here for a lot mire pics....all in hi-res (looks like the same place that Adrenaline got his pics from).

Now heres some million dollar questions: Will it last 4 years, and what do you think compared to the BF?

[adrenaline]

Thats sexy.

The front end has a hint of Barina.

And I bet Audi's pissed about the dash.

Answers:

It won't last 4 years. It will be better than the BF (of course) but not as much as Holden wants you to think

[adrenaline]

Actually I've got a billion dollar question (literally)...Will the public move back towards large cars??

[fpv_gtho]

Im going to make the extraordinary statement and say i still prefer the BF exterior. Since BA, theyve had a package that looks good from XT-XR-Ghia. VE doesnt have that. SS looks awkward, whilst everyone wants the Calais now. Who knows what the Omega will look like with the massive arch flares and only 16" wheels. Even the 19's on the SS-V look small
