2012 Holden Calais Pricing and Specs

With local production shutting down the big-car choices are getting fewer and fewer, but right now you can still buy a Calais if that's what you like. You can also buy an equivalent Falcon or Toyota Aurion. There are more expensive cars, from the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi etc. that would suit, but they come with a much higher price tag than a Calais. Others you could try are a Skoda Superb, a Honda Accord V6 Luxury if you're prepared to give up a little in size, and there's also the Chrysler 300C.

There were two engines in the 2012 VE Calais Series 2. One was a 3.6-litre V6 Alloytec SIDI, the other a 6.0-litre Gen IV L76 V8.

It's best to choose a reputable brand, one that has been on the market for some time, and it should be a sequential injection system. Holden uses an Impco system, and that's certainly one to consider, but there are others as well. To find an installer go to the LPG system manufacturers' websites and get the list of their accredited people. It's always a good idea to talk to other people who have made the same conversion you are planning, and get their recommendations on systems and installers.
