WITH every upgrade, Holden builds some additional value into the base-model Commodore Executive - and VXII was no exception. There's little to report in terms of standard equipment (standard fitment of an alarm is the one exception) or change in appearance. And, enthusiastic drivers aside, most people will not notice much difference in the way the car drives. Yet little (and long-overdue) items such as improved indicator and cruise control stalks leave a strong impression. It still lacks a few important features such as a passenger's airbag, however, Executive is still an excellent all-rounder.
