VF calais

I reckon a VF Calais with the cream trim and a suede headliner would look really nice and premium...

It's probably more acceptable in a Calais as a premium touch but I guess my vision of a Calais V is to Redline it a bit with the SS body kit etc!

From the 2016 brochure…

I’m really, really SUPER surprised the full Titanium interior was still available for MY2016 … never seen one, who ordered that?!

If I’m being honest (rare) I have a suspection Holden scrood-up that brochure & the pale leather wasn’t actually available.

I've seen pictures of a VF Calais V advertised on Carsales with pale (Titanium) seats, but I don't know what year or series it was.

A mate of mine who owned a BMW dealership for many years told me their golden rule was never to order cars for stock with light coloured interior, cream, white, light beige etc, as it was a minority taste and were hard cars to sell even at reduced prices.

The white colours are probably only suitable for the clean people. I’m not one of them. Whenever I wear a white tee shirt I inevitably get some grot on it within about 5 minutes of putting it on.

Cars with light coloured interiors were a mongrel to work on when I was an apprentice mechanic and worked at a Chrysler/Mitsubishi dealer for 6 years back in the day. Didn't take much to mark the interior wearing dirty overalls even trying your best not to. There was a lot of beige, light blue and green interiors with light coloured carpet, I remember trying to get stains off the trans tunnel with paint thinners where the side of your boots touched the carpet. Dark colours hide most of that.

Aha!
Found one, a VF2 for sale with the Titanium leather …
https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/de...-vf-series-ii-auto-my16/OAG-AD-21140919/?Cr=7
… so it was still available in VF2.

That would've also been nice if the VF was in production for a little longer... If Holden decided to make an Aussie built RWD VF facelift, it would've been a wise decision to cull the Evoke completely and go upmarket, focusing on the V8's, which is kind of what they did at the end...

My dad bought a Chrysler Sigma new.

It was a light metallic green with light green cloth interior......luxury.
