What's there to consider in the 2011 Holden Calais? Lot's and lot's, but let's point you to some fine tit- bits to have you that little bit more educated.

The outside is updated, leading to more polished and comprehensive lines. Tons of torque and energy are supported by an astonishing 12-percent improvement in fuel-economy on the motor.

Holden have contained the V-series Calais within their product lineup, that's only a little more luxurious orientated.

By Jingo, I better take a look at that one myself.

Queen Mary of England - the one that lent her name for the cocktail Bloody Mary - stated that after she died, the physicians could open her up and discover the word "Calais" engraved on her heart. She was, obviously, referring to town to the coast of France that she had formerly controlled. If she were living now, she was talking about the luxurious automobile, the Holden Calais.

Both Holden Calais as well as the Calais V-series are gems in Holden's crown. Plus they look that, also. It's not for nothing the Holden Calais was given the "Car of the Year" by Wheels in 2006. Advanced tailored lines make this sports luxury sedan look fleet, sleek and elegant, and the bonnet is really a masterpiece of minimalistic beauty.

Sitting within the interior of the Holden Calais makes you feel to be an absolute monarch, along with your lumbarsupport seats (fabric with leather bolsters within the elementary Holden Calais, complete leather within the V collection) give a comfy throne to you. And also the power below the bonnet can readily make the Holden Calais the queen of the street. The 3.6 litre High-output Alloytec V6 engine has a powerful 195 kW of electricity available (talk about every one of of the king's horses!). A feistier engine is being offered as an alternative: a 6.0 litre Generation 4 Alloy V8 engine that creates a huge 270 kW. The reins of energy are in your hands thanks to the leatherwrap multifunction steering-wheel managing the quite exact steering, and the matching gearstick to control the fivespeed mechanized transmission (six speed for the option).

And also the ESP system comprising EBD, ABS, traction control and electronic brake help give iron grip to balance the comfort of the trip suspension.

The Holden Calais continues to focus on your relaxation inside. Both climate control and the audio system (and the optional satellite-navigation, should you pick it) are controllable through the 6.5\" multifunction color screen with DVD player. For your convenience, the energy windows have "express down and up" facility, double cupholders are supplied within the center console (not for a Bloody Mary while you are driving, I expect. Try a Virgin Mary instead), as can be an auxiliary power outlet. The eyes are delighted by the Onyx trimming as well as the layout of the dashboard.
