thanks spoonage.
sfr_rob as to build quality, bit hard for me to say with the car here today, as it is a pilot car with a few k's on it, hence it is so dirty. But overall not too bad, but yeah still a holden, the Dash actaully looks quite smick in real life I think.

The rims on that Calais look horrid
 : Looks quite different from the Calais they unveiled a few weeks ago. (Which looks hot!!!) I'm guessing it is only a Calais, not a Calais V???? I'll reserve judgement until I see them on the road. |

17" rims
Yeah the handbrake looks strange when it's pulled up, so I am told in the showroom dont expect too many with the handbrake on. Any other questions oh and YES battery was in boot, no battery box, a standard lead acid battery too, apprently as it has a custom drainage to the to the outside so in case of spillage wont corode anything it's allowed.

I actually think it is looking better every time I see it. I do like the big flared guards. This theme looks good even on the rear quarter. I am still waiting to see it in the flesh though. BTW did anybody notice the 380 in the back round? I can not believe how quickly the 380 has aged IMHO.

The washer nozzles are integrated to the wiper arms as well.

Can confirm for those that don't know that Holden got inspiration for their front lights from the BA.. pretty obvious anyway though.

Nice looking car, Well except for the wheels on that model.
The 380 looks like a big Kia Mentor from a few years ago |

: They are waaay to big. Im very suprised about the battery in the boot, I doubted someone how said it would happen so I take it back! :dr_Evil: Has to be one of the most boring designs ever, not to mention a let down. Although it sums up Holden quite nicely, just a tad to much try-hard for my liking.

I can see a few getting those flaired guards scraped at shopping centres etc as you cannot see them from inside the car, pretty **** poor idea if you ask me as they make the car look narrow?
I wouldnt mind one, actually I think overall its better then the BF based on the fact that its 4 years newer, but not by lightyears, the BF II may even give it a tune up!
