I don’t have a complete list; what I’m aware of is heated seats, heated exterior mirrors, puddle lights, auto-dipping external mirrors for reversing, electric seat & mirror memories linked to key-fob (I assume also MyLink settings).

And the redline has performance options over calais/ssv such as brembos, fe3 suspension, launch control.

Does ssvr or ssv have driver seat memory?

No, no seat memory in SSVR.

Also more performance oriented tune in the ESC, which can also change the steering, tq management, traction control and ESC with a double tap of the button. I prefer the Redline seats too.

MY17 also has the electrochromatic mirror though that I believe was standard in the Caprice all along with the WN.

It’s probably easier to Redline your Calais than Calais-ing your Redline. :p

But then if we want both we can just go with the Motorsport and Director. But that’s for another topic!

Yep easy to put Brembo's on your Calais. You can even fit them behind the standard 19's.

I reckon the opposite to be the case. Far easier and far less exe to add an electric pax seat, a few mirrors and lamps etc, than suspension, wheels, brakes, tyres, body kit (contra), ESC program etc.
