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

  • Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
  • Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
  • Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
  • Formula m Same as Ford, withholding billions in development because they want to rearrange the furniture.
  • EV-Guy I would care more about the Detroit downtown core. Who else would possibly be able to occupy this space? GM bought this complex - correct? If they can't fill it, how do they find tenants that can? Is the plan to just tear it down and sell to developers?
