Thanks for the input.
Holden make it confusing with all the different VF options in their range. I cannot tell the difference between a VF Lightening and Storm, just a set of stickers and some gloss black on parts. The Calais looks like a decent option vs Ford.

We had a 2012 3 series BMW, nice car but you don't want the ongoing services costs outside of warranty that's why we sold it. Obviously the Euro cars have had all the added features as standard that Holden and Ford have added as 'new innovations' recently.

Still deciding.
