Holden Calais V

The Holden Commodore (VE) is a full-size car that marked the introduction of the fourth generation of the Holden Commodore—a series of automobiles produced by Australian carmaker Holden. Referred to as Holden's "billion dollar baby", the company invested over AU$1 billion in developing the car before production began on 13 July 2006; it debuted three days later. The VE was Holden's first project designed entirely in Australia; previous generations relied on the European Opel-sourced platforms. The company produced several body styles of the VE: a sedan, a ute and a station wagon called the Sportwagon. Variants by Holden's performance vehicle partner, Holden Special Vehicles, were released soon after the sedan's debut. Over the VE's lifespan, Holden also introduced a series of changes, identified by the model year (MY). Often ranked as Australia's best-selling car throughout its lifecycle, the VE was discontinued in May 2013 and succeeded by the VF. (Full article...)

• Main editors: me and OSX
• Promoted: February 2025. this article was previously promoted to FA to 2007 but delisted in 2020.
• Reasons for nomination: re-run. if this doesn't work out i'm happy with July 13. other reasons are: 19 years since it began production, 18 years since it last ran on the main page, 17 years since anything Holden-related appeared on the main page, underrepresentation of anything really Australian as TFA.

• Oppose for the date, simply because Trinity has a better claim to July 16th and 19th anniversary isn't that impressive. 20th anniversary in 2026 might make more sense as the date to to re-run this. Harizotoh9 (talk) 14:11, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
