Holden Calais V

The Holden Commodore (VE) is a full-size car that marked the introduction of the fourth generation of the Holden Commodore, a series of automobiles produced by Australian carmaker Holden. Referred to as Holden's "billion dollar baby", the company invested more than AU$1 billion in developing the car before production began on 13 July 2006; it made its public debut three days later. The VE was Holden's first project designed entirely in Australia; previous generations relied on Opel-sourced platforms. The company produced several body styles of the VE: a sedan, a ute, and a station wagon dubbed the Sportwagon. Variants by Holden's performance vehicle partner, Holden Special Vehicles, were released soon after the sedan's debut. Over the VE's production, Holden also introduced a series of changes, identified by the model year. Often ranked as Australia's annual best-selling car during production, the VE was discontinued in May 2013 and succeeded by the VF. (Full article...)
