It has been quite some time since the demise of the G8. Despite the US absence, Australia continues to enjoy the benefits of world class handling at real world prices, with the Commodore celebrating its 14th year as Australia’s favourite car. Comfort, Sport and Luxury are a mere tick of the box away at any Holden dealer, but I’ve done a little investigating. If VE/VF is ever going to get another US visa, time is of the essence....
Zeta has to be one of the most contentious issues on GMInsidenews.com and most of these discussions are not based on its capability. There are plenty of reviews that talk about the vault like Monocoque construction, composure and road holding that has given many a euro, a sharp jab to the solar plexus.
The arguments arise from viability based on the G8 and its flawed existence, and, where any other iteration would fit into the tradition values of “New” General Motors surviving brands. I am not going to ramble on about viability issues because no one here is in the position to discuss the logistics implications of a) importing from Australia, or, b) the costs associated with new tooling required for North American manufacture alongside Chevrolet’s prodigal icon and the VE Commodore’s platform sibling, the Fifth Gen Camaro. I did, however, want to see, hear, taste and highlight the merits of the Holden Calais and see if it really does have the right stuff to make it on the other side of the planet.
