Not bad. I was expecting worse. This car has potential to look good in sport form.

Very nice, the Calais-V should be our Impala, instead of the botched FWD Epsilon were getting.

IDK, it feels a little bland to me.
Maybe it's because it's not that different than the VE.
Maybe it's because it's a Calais.
Can't wait to see a sport version.

Re: VF Commodore / Chevy SS Reveal

I miss the bulging front fenders from the VE series. That was one of the best styling cues I like about my G8.

Re: VF Commodore / Chevy SS Reveal

Dammit......Importedroomate beat me to it!!

Yea, I like what I see!! I think the Chevy version will look equally good if not better!!

I sure hope we get these in Canada - with the limited number of these coming to NA, I wonder if this car will be limited only to the U.S. like the GTO was........it would be a huge shame if it is...............

Re: VF Commodore / Chevy SS Reveal

That does look good. Wonder how much will be specific to Chevy or Holden like wheels or trim or will it be just a badge swap.

Re: VF Commodore / Chevy SS Reveal

Can someone verify if the car will be available in Canada? I have a sneaking suspicion it will only be available in the U.S.......

Re: VF Commodore / Chevy SS Reveal

I really like what I see. Fender flares intact. Interior shots show manual shifter! I hope that makes it on the SS.

Re: VF Commodore / Chevy SS Reveal

Yes, its coming with a manual! I'm amazed how many people think otherwise.
