Your post is ridiculous. You Japanese car comments support the other side of the argument ! Does it actually make sense to you when you read it ? I f a Jap car built in America is still a Jap car, surely an Australian. car built in Australia. is very much and Australian car. The car is built in Adelaide and shipped to America. I think sales have stopped there anyway. GM itself has virtually stopped but Holden a’re still building the cars in Australia. Holden may be one of the few GM survivors.
But every Holden Commodore, Kingswoods and Premier were clones of a European GM Opel. About 2 years before Aus saw a new model there was an almost identical Opel model in Europe, they were called Omega, Senator & Commodore. So the shapes and names came from Germany, and most of the important turny bits are from the USA. So exactlly which bits are Australian?
australian designed and built = australian car. ” Holden is a subsidiary of GM but we are a corporate entity in our own right an independent company under Australian law. ” Its rebadged as a pontiac just like the GTO.
It is an Australian designed and engineered car by Holden with a Chevrolet engine. Pontiac rebadge it as do Vauxhall in UK with obvious minor changes. GM obviously do all the funding but this doesnt necessarily mean its an American car. Definately a beast though. Good job Aussies.
actually it is american, even though the car may be built in australia its still an american car, owned and serviced by GM of america. sorry to tell you the pontiac name on the car is american to. its no different when toyota put factories in the u.s. to build cars. its still a japanese owned car company and they are still japanese cars even if the u.s. exports toyota’s made in the u.s. over to japan…
