	New Holden Caprice and Statesmans mix it with the world's best :: car.kak.net ::
		Holden adds another chapter to the continuing success story of its long-wheelbase luxury cars with the release of the WK series Caprice and Statesman.
		Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Peter Hanenberger, says the Caprice and Statesman are currently exported to ten countries, and their sales success here and abroad reflects the fact that the hallmarks of quality, refinement and value are universal.
		Caprice advertises its luxury sports tourer status and appeal to younger buyers with its lower stance, nine-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, low-profile tyres and design cues like fl bezels and chrome highlights on the projector headlamps, fog and cornering lamps, a sports graphite honeycomb grille and twin chrome exhaust tips.

	Holden Caprice : Road Test / News & Reports / Motoring / Web Wombat
		The new WK series Caprice heralds sharp and aggressive styling cues, a retooled interior that is unique in the Holden line-up and, perhaps most importantly, it's focus has changed from being an all-out luxo cruiser to a more sporty-but-well-equipped long wheelbased (LWB) prestige vehicle.
		While the Caprice is still a Statesman at heart, soaking up much of the disfigured and mangled mess that we call country roads, it offers a well-damped and smartly sprung setup that is fairly responsive when the curves begin to tighten.
		The Caprice is listed as a five-seater vehicle, but the deep, luxurious, almost airliner-like ergonomic rear buckets are generously sculpted for two occupants - like the Monaro - and though there is a centre seat belt, the third rear passenger must sit on the edges of both side seats, which is uncomfortable.

		Holden shipped a Commodore SS-V, the performance flagship of the new Holden range, to Detroit for a strategy board meeting with high-level GM executives in early August.
		Holden had planned to export the new Caprice to the U.S. as a Buick (the design and engineering were finalized more than a year ago), but those plans were scrapped when GM focused its energy toward a new range of SUVs in North America.
		Holden hasn't given up hope of exporting the Holden Caprice to the U.S., but it may now not be sold as a Buick.

	Holden WH Statesman / Caprice
		Holden underlines its commitment to technological leadership and to satisfying customer needs with the introduction of the Holden Assist in-car communications system as standard fitment on Caprice and as an option offered to Statesman buyers.
		Holden and its Melbourne-based conversion partner, Maverick Motor Industries, have started building the first of what it hopes may be 2000 police car packs a year for the Middle East market.
		Another reason Holden should be hopeful for US police export orders is news that the Ford Crown Victoria, the last remaining rear-drive police car of choice, is rumoured to be switching to front drive in two years.

	Holden Caprice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First released in 1971 in the HQ range, the Holden Statesman was a replacement for the equally long Holden Brougham from the HK/T/G models.
		Caprice is Holden’s top level and most luxurious car, with nearly all features as standard, with usually a very small number of options.
		Caprice (and Statesman) is quite popular in country areas due to their size, power, levels of comfort, towing proficiency and ablility to traverse the large distances required in relative ease.

		Holden chairman and managing director, Peter Hanenberger, says Holden is confident that its long-wheelbase flagships (which replace a US-sourced model) will find ready acceptance in the Middle East and compete successfully against a wide range of luxury imports.

	Holden Caprice \| Roadtests \| The Australian
		Caprice has emerged more as a sports tourer than cruise liner, with an authoritative appearance, handling-oriented suspension tuning, low-profile Bridgestone rubber and a higher output version of the familiar 5.7-litre V8.
		The Caprice adopts the VY Commodore dashboard but is trimmed in classier materials, and the centre console stack now houses a screen for the temperature and audio settings.
		Holden has done a fine job with the Caprice's ancient rear suspension set-up and it is in no sense disgraced against the LTD's more sophisticated control-blade independent system.

		At the rear of the stretched Holden, twin trapezoidal exhaust outlets help differentiate the car from the Commodore stock, and the most noticeable change from last years model is the inclusion of LED brake light clusters.
		Holden has taken a good car and tweaked it, and the result is immediately satisfying.
		The WL Caprice is better than it's predecessor in many respects, and if we had a Car of the Year leader board at Wombat Motoring, this big Aussie barge would be ranking very highly indeed.

	Holden Statesman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Caprice was the most luxurious car offered by Holden at that point, with a push-button AM radio, pile carpet, leather seats, electric locking, power windows and no fewer than 13 interior lamps.
		In 1990, demand for a full-size luxury sedan in Australia saw Holden resurrect the name on a long-wheelbase version of its Holden Commodore, which in turn was a heavily revised and enlarged Opel Omega B. The VQ series Statesman of 1990 to 1994 featured a 5.0 L engine.
		Holden made many efforts to distinguish the Statesman from the Commodore, with a formal grille and a very different glasshouse reminiscent of contemporary GM products such as the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, all while incorporating the doors from the lower models.

	cars - Chevrolet Caprice
		In the 1970s, General Motors of South Africa sold the Australian Holden Statesman as the Chevrolet Caprice and Caprice Classic.
		Holden has also named its in-house-developed full-size car the Caprice (more precisely the Holden Statesman Caprice) and exports it to the Middle East where they are sold as Chevrolet Caprices.
		As the Caprice became the new top-line full-sized Chevrolet, the Impala (formerly the top model, which also included a Super Sport version) was demoted to second-best, with the Bel Air and Biscayne handling the lower part of the lineup.

		A selling point that Holden are currently wringing for all its worth is the standard fitment of a dual DVD system with individual LCD screens for the rear passengers; these are built into the back of the front seat headrests.
		Holden claims that the sheet metal of the WK Caprice is all new aside from the roof and doors - its aerodynamic Cd has been reduced to just 0.30 and total aero lift has been reduced by 57 percent.
		We went over the Caprice with a fine comb and found its overall build quality is certainly up to standard - the paint had a deep finish, panel margins were even, the doors shut well and the leather quality looked good.

		When tested to the AS2877 procedure, the new V8 Statesman and Caprice use 13.5 litres/100km on the city cycle and 8.5 litres/100km on the highway cycle, improvements of 13 per cent and 11 per cent respectively over 5.0 litre V8 fuel economy figures.

	Holden Caprice V8 - Drive.com.au
		Picking the difference between old and new is a hard task but the Caprice requires perceptibly less throttle to keep pace with urban traffic flow or when more a urgent squirt is required.
		The Caprice copes better with the new V8 than the bursting-at-the-seams Commodore SS, though that’s probably down to the increase in weight, the stabilising effects of the longer wheelbase and its more relaxed demeanor more than anything else.
		The Caprice V8 misses out on two big-ticket items when it comes to safety; stability control and curtain airbags.

	Holden VZ - Next Car Pty Ltd - 9th August, 2004
		The new VZ Commodores, Berlina and Calais are identified by sharper-accented styling and individual models are clearly defined by differing treatments. More subtle design changes to the WL Holden Caprice and Statesman enhance their prestige appeal.
		Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Denny Mooney, said the improvements made to the 2004 VZ sedan and WL model series at a total development cost of $189 million represented the most substantial upgrade since the VT Commodore in 1997. The new Alloytec V6 powertrains were major contributors and they brought many associated modifications.
		Consistent with Holden's commitment to improving fuel economy, increases in engine power and torque do not bring fuel consumption penalties. Official ADR 8/10 fuel standards show that the most popular Commodores - Executive, Acclaim and Berlina sedans with automatic transmission - use two per cent less fuel than their ECOTEC V6 predecessors.
