drooool

[Nemesis737]

the official pics make it look alright, The orange dash is a bit out there on the ss v, get rid of that and the interior is very nice

[CSV_LS1]

Caprice dash.

[JD86]

i agree with past comments about the calais headlights resembling that of the ba/bf

i like interior on the calais

does anyone else think this is a bit euro looking?

nice car overall, well done holden

[Nemesis737]

I like that caprice interior, very nice. Recon that HSV are donna do some magic. By the way, whens the next falcon upgrade due?

Rear Shot

[Falcon Coupe]

Updated Holden rear end with an remodified BA front and roof line, ohh well, if you can't beat them, join them.

Damm it's hard to pick that the Caprice is LWB! They actually lengthened the door as opposed to simply sticking a wagon door on and filling the gap.
The SS needs colour coded door trim inserts to go with the dash and seats.
Interesting how they pinched the "V" name for the premium sports model from Cadillac, most people will wonder wtf it's all about.

[davocol]

That interior is sensational, about time they got rid of that sick looking green colour in the dash.

Finally a decent interior in a holden!!! 10/10 for the calais. Thanks for the pic Maurice, keep em coming if you have any more. Has any one got base model interior pictures?

[CSV_LS1]

Calais is my preffered option. Not a fan of the SS. The Front bumper is too flat.

[Nemesis737]

Mr Stationwagon, was wondering where the V came from. American companies tightening the grip...

First shot of SS in the wilderness

[seano14]

tell you what the location of the d!cky little ariel above the rear window on every single model ****es me off already! why didnt they incorporate it into the rear window like on the BA?

[stevz]

The more I see of it the more I love it! The Calais interior is absolutely sensational. Can't wait to see them in the flesh

I thought they were going to get rid of those 2 rubber strips on the roof.......guess i was wrong

[aimzes]

im impressed. not a huge fan of the rear spoiler on the ss but that calais is pretty special. interiors are such an improvement.

Judging by the **** poor radio reception the BA/BF has been known for, I think they made the right choice.

A lip rear wing will be optional. The main guys at holden prefer it to the standard wing.

Maybe, although knowing a little about GM corporate in America I think it's more a case of someone in Holden getting cheeky, again. Cadillac is notorious for telling other divisions to take a flying leap if they think they are about to be upstaged. For them to let Holden use the V series name, and to a lesser extent image, is rather odd in my view.

[Peuty]

They have done very well. All I have to say is "Look out Ford".

Hard to tell but it almost looks like Holden has roof rack mounts under slideing covers, like the Astra.

[Dazza XLT]

What about that SS Interior. A few HUGE Splashes of colour.... Not a big fan.

Same here, especially the dash in the SSV. Nasty looking IMO.

[XR6turbo]

The SS still doesnt sit well with me, nor does its interior : But the calias looks nice, and as has been spotted, has a lot of potential too look hot!
I don't like the caprice backside, but i like its interior, far better than the previous model.

[LUXO_8]

someone do a V8SC and persuit car photoshops

[Nemesis737]

pretty sure they need the rubber things on the roof to make it easier in assembly
