Another Holden? So General Motors produced a brand called Holden in Australia? Were there others?

Yes George
But not in Australia. Opel, was built in Germany, Vauxhall in England as examples of GM abroad. And Opel was managed by Buick.

The last iteration of the Pontiac GTO (in the early 2000's) was built by Holden in Australia and imported to the US. They also currently produce the Chevy SS that is currently sold here in the States.

Thanks David. I knew about Opel being sold by Buick dealers here in the U. S. but didn't know it was a General Motors car.
