THE Calais distinguishes itself from base Commodores in subtle ways, with chrome window surrounds, a specific cross-hatch grille with black-outlined headlights and rear-deck badging. The bumpers are also different to those of base-model Commodores, while Calais models also get drivign lights and specific wheels. Calais also goes without the teardrop headlight design seen other lower-range Commodores since the introdution of the VX series.
