2007 Holden Statesman

Press Release Information Here

Looks like a car you'd use to transport someone very important in the back.

You mean like a dead person? This does not look like a hearse!!!!

Yes, I agree. I'm sure their PM John Howard will probably order one because it's the best Australia has to offer... even though it may not be the best lux car you can get. Kind of like how bushy boy drives around a Caddy DTS. It's not the best you can get but it's American and that's all that counts.

Looks very elegant and luxurious to me well done Holden!

I hope they bring those interiors over.

I think this would make a very nice Buick with different detailing on the sides and different fascias. I also think GM needs to throw out the black-tie radios and bring on the Blaupunkts.

LOOK OUT Lexus & Mercedes !!!!...WOW !!! ...now that's an AUTOMOBILE, NOT JUST A CAR!!!

This one has the nicest interior of the bunch. Outside, it looks like a logical sucessor to the Ford Crown Victoria.

The exterior gives off an Impala vibe, which is not that condusive to its market position, but looks good nonetheless. Is that an LED turn signal indicator in the side vent?

The interior is...wow. Beautiful and classy.

For this to come over here as a Buick, the exterior needs to be buffed up a bit with more Buick and Velite cues, more bold, IMO.

BABY - - - - - GOT - - - - - BACK!!!

This is a fantastic day for RWD. Hey you hear that? Yeah that sound...

it's the sound of Ford motor company crying as they just relised how

obsolete the Crown Vic has become. All done, do not pass go do not

collect $200. Either the Crown Vic gets redesigned or GM is cleaning

house in the cop car & taxi cab market. The 4-spd auto and all the

dumbed down basic durrable old school $hit combined with a "spartan

interior" will make this a bargain for any police dept. at like $23,000.

That fender repeater lamp assembly looks like it could be popped out and replaced with the Lucerne's portholes. Could this really be the foundation for the next big Buick?

No, they aren't identical, but the proportions made me think of the New Mercedes-Benz S-Class (Which I now think is absolutely beautiful!)

It's not offensive. It is just more of the same safe, bland styling that has been around for years. It already looks dated. It looks like so many cars already on the market. This is a car that GM/Holden should have been doing ten years ago.

They're even more similar if you choose the LWB S-class...
