Well actually everything in it is pretty much exactly like the Statesman we get in Australia (including tv screen on the back of the headrest), just with the Omega dash, and no dual zone climate control + instead of the 5 speed auto in UAE they get the 4 Speed Auto. But i think thats due to change soon.

In UAE the Chevrolet Caprice has 2 different dashboards. The LS model has the Omega dash. The LTZ, Caprice SS & Caprice Royale Have (Aussie Caprice/statesman dash)

Just saw the press release from Holden and they have confirmed that they will supply their vehicles to the US but will not be the sole supplier, Dodge will still play with their Charger and the Caprice will provide around 70-80000 units per year which is absoluetley what Holden wants.

What about fitting an LED screen [similar to the ones you see in the "Light Bar} on Highway Patrol Cars] on the rear parcel shelf of their cars so you can display messages to those tail-gaters and other idiots behind you

The Seppo unions wont allow this. Obama is all about trying to keep it in the country, so it will fail – waste of time and money.

Tomas if you removed any part of the interior to install something or pulled something apart to repair something – when you put it back together it will never be as good as what it was when it left the factory..

As I said The installation of the Computer and Communications etc was most likely done by Britax – so don’t blame Holden blame britax.

I mean I have seen a number of Toyotas with poorly fitted After market Bullbars Tow bars Spotlights and Bodykits but is that Toyotas Fault?
