If you don't like the 'Boy racer' look, the Holden Calais is a better styling base for you. Here are a few examples:

20" HSV wheels

The Calais is sexy. I wish it was available. It would make a great next generation Chevrolet Caprice/Impala.

I like the tail lights!

From what I understand, a taillight swap would also require a rear bumper swap as they are slightly longer at the bottom.

...and it even has a nicer centerstack. Pontiac, this is the nicest I've seen for the Zeta cars.

It looks goofy with HSV wheels on it. That's the center stack we should have gotten instead of the Atari graphic readouts on top.

Looks nice, but how is it different from a Commodore?

It's essentially a Commodore but the Luxury version.

Differen't front facia and rear lights/bumper, interior is similar but has differen't colours and finish...

Commodore Omega front end

Then you have the Berlina spec Commodore.

Which has the same styling as the Calais but less spec'd i.e Less powerful V6, 4 sp auto only (same as Omega) and interior is less spec'd.
