Luxury version of regular [[Holden Commodore (VE)]], wearing Calais badges (and no sign of Commodore ones). Divided this generation into standard Calais and Calais V versions, apeing Cadillac in US. Attractive, restrained styling compared to stock Commodore. Excellent value for money in most markets: luxury-car equipment for a regular price. Relatively nimble and responsive for its large size. Poor fuel consumption and ANCAP gave it four stars, rather than its predecessor’s five.
