Are GM testing the waters by selling the Astra and what was the Barina (Corsa) as Opels rather than Holdens to guage Australia's reaction to selling cars under a different badge?

On the subject of Chev-baged holdens, the strangest use of Chev badges I've seen on a holden was on an Epica being driven thru docklands, by what looked like a Korean or Chinese uni student......

Nah, because then the standard Bow Tie would be the wrong colour and they would swap them for blue ones...

And Ford can change its name to Troller. Since they own that company.

I saw a VE SV6 with Chev Bow Ties on it today. I can see that in some bizzare way that the V8s have some link to the US branding through the import engine, but what about the 6? Is that made here? (Must admit I own one!) I have yet to see a VL Turbo wearing the branding of the company from which its engine was sourced!
Cheers, Dave

How is it weird. The holden badging would be the weird part.
