I have absolutely no idea what brand, make or model that is.


EDIT: Ah, it's an Aussie Ford. I know there are Aussie Vauxhalls as well that are unique to Australia.

Holden is a General Motors subsidiary and also distribute Opel in Australia. On top of that they have made Nissans and other models. I can only think of the Monaro as their lone original model. As original as it gets when you borrow the engine and chassis from other cars.

Not too sure on the makeup of that car but I know it was a corvette engine(the new integrations anyway, the model itself has been made since the 70s or something).

edit: Not to say that the Monaro is the only one but that is the one I know. And it was quite popular outside of Australia for its low costs and general awesomeness.

Yup they are rebadged and have left side steering, of course. I think the GTO's are ugly, though.

The entire FPV lineup is sold nowhere else in the world.

Further, beyond offering the Coyote V8 in some of their cars like the GT. (Which is offered in the Mustang in the states) They offer a 4l inline 6 with a GT35 framed turbo stock running at only 13PSI.

They basically offer some incredible performing cars for the money compared to any other country.

Pontiac went under.

For only a couple of years they sold the Pontiac G8 GXP which was the car you are talking about.

But at least GM still has Cadillac in the states selling the CTS-V's.

Ford has jackshit in the states when it comes to powerful V8 sedans.
