Calais V vs Calais

[ataylor2703]

Hey guys

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Calais V v8 and the normal Calais v8???

 

[Mavericks Choice]

Few comes to mind with ours is:
Projector headlights
Leather
Full LCD
Extra chrome
DVD
Rev Cam
Power seats & memory

Not sure about suspension difference or power output though.
I know all models have 2.92 single spinner Diff in the 6L & reason why I binned ours for a HSV shot peened 3.27 LSD one instead. They should of had these as standard works extremely well with the AFM too.

Cheers
MC.

power output is the same, and yeah that list is pretty much spot on for the extra's you get

FE2 suspension same as SS
$8000 option

other possibilities are:
18" vs 19" rims
heated side mirrors
front park assist
different leather steering wheels
more functions on the electic seats
IQ sat nav??

I know the V gets FE2 but surely its not an $8K option on the std calais, you could get some high grade aftermarket setup for that kind of $$$$$. Anyhow I believe the V is great value for money over the std calais.

In the series 1 at least, here are the differences;
- Full leather seats, with memory pack. Inlcudes memory seats, mirrors, climate control, stereo.
- Front park assist.
- 18" wheels (up from 17")
- Chrome side mouldings
- Rear seat entertainment (screen DVD etc)
- Upgraded stereo, 11 speakers.

Well it keeps them warm, because they stick out from the car. You know how your ears tend to get cold when its chily out

Nah it acts like a demister would on your rear windscreen.
