    Holden sells the Malibu under the Holden name and Chevy sells the new Commodore under the Chevy name.

    Chevrolet is a GM owned company. Holden is a GM owned company. GM sell alot of their cars under different manufacturer names in different countries.

    Opel Corsa C. Vauxhall Corsa C. 4th generation Holden barina. All 1 and the same car. Opel is the original, but Opel is owned by GM so GM sell it under the UK GM owned manufacturer (vauxhall) and the aussie manufacturer (holden).
    The holden commodore. Sold as a chevy SS in the USA, sold as a Vauxhall VXR8 in the UK.

    Just found that pic when browsing the interwebs.

    and then i found this.

    Who the fuck would put an useless utility bed on his camaro? You can't even put a cow on there! Also it looks bloody awful.

    It looks awful yes. But it is rather convenient for unloading gravel, sand and dirt on some work sites. But you are correct, much harder to put a cow on there for the 140mph sideways animal transportation business and therefore the car should be burnt.

    Is on the GM Zeta platform
    So is the Camaro
    Same undercarriage, possibly running gear.
    camaro.

    Also why would you want to haul gravel in such a low car? you would be better of hauling it in a trailer behind that with a stock bed.

    Not that i would have anything against it, perhaps except the steering wheel on the weird side, not planning to have anything against it unless GM decides to do it the GM style.
    The camaro holden thing is just a pun.

    GM Zeta is basically the GM way of saying "holden designed this car, now go slap a camaro shell on it", the zeta platform was designed by Holden for the commodore, Chevrolet only later used it for the camaro.

    if i ever bought a chevy ss, first thing i would do is replace the badges with holden badges, there's just something about a chevy badge on a holden commadore (that's what the chevy ss is, is the holden commadore) that seems really really wrong, not to mention looks strange
