Holden Calais Previews Chevrolet SS

Holden took the wraps off of the latest VF-Series Calais, the luxury version of the Commodoe. Expect some, but not all of the styling cues to carry over to the upcoming Chevrolet SS sports sedan. This is also likely the last hurrah for the big, rear-drive Holden. Slow sales have sealed the fate of the Commodore, with a 2016 death date scheduled.

    Would be nice to see a midsized domestic with RWD. Maybe the dumbed down version of the CTS (nice car but not good looking - IMHO). While I do love big cars RWD like the Charger. I prefer something smaller as DD in a citish enviroment.

      @APaGttH Sounds like a Cadillac. Right car, wrong brand.

    I don't have a problem with the SS (super sport) name being used after something,as in Impala SS or Camaro SS , but on it's own is just plain dumb

  • MaintenanceCosts It's not a Benz or a Jag / it's a 5-0 with a rag /And I don't wanna brag / but I could never be stag
  • 3-On-The-Tree Son has a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and I have a 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 6spd. And on paper they are pretty close.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.
  • CanadaCraig I would like for this anniversary special to be a bare-bones Plain-Jane model offered in Dynasty Green and Vintage Burgundy.
