If you compare the BA Fairmont Ghia to the VE Calais in a front view, you will obviously see alot of resemblance. Some have gone on about the VZ Calais looking great, but you can see what direction Holden have taken with the new calais, and thats the Fairmont Ghia approach. Simple elegant styling with a hint of spotiness, just like the euros. The front headlights, grille and even the lower bumper resemble the BA. Seriously it doesnt look like a massive step above Ford so far and i was suprised to see two models get the 4 speed auto.
On the Caprices instrument cluster, i think thats a direct copy of the Audi A8, just like the roofline and doors are, if im correct.
