Thanks Vlad, you're good. Never seen those bumpers before (beige), must be a later Calif spec.
White one is nice, tail lights are the same as a FIAT 124 from the late sixties, methinks..
Countach: one of my kids pointed out a while ago that the boot releases on the Lambo are the same as the ones on the X1/9. Cute piece of shiny leverage which hides below the B pillar. Parts bin Italy....

SubscriberMate Holden's are pretty Oz. The first Commodore may have started as an Opel but the chassis was stretched and widened (I believe) to make it into a car that would satisfy Aussie buyers. Since then GMH has shown that (as does the local arm of Ford) they have engineers the equal of anywhere in the world, and better than most. This is seen in the overseas success of upmarket Commodore derivatives being sold in the Middle East and until recently the Monaro being sold as both a Chevrolet and a Vauxhall. So even though I don;t own any Holdens and probably never will I can at least give credit where credit is due. :P

I said most holdens, I wasn't picking on the commodore particularly, just an example. Let's look at the other products past and present.
Jackaroo - Isuzu
Vectra - Vauxhall
Barina current - Dawoo
Previous barina - Opel
Rodeo - Isuzu
i'm sure that there is a few more, but the commodore is now pretty aussie, i'll give you that.

Subscriberor Ford Laser = Mazda 626
or Honda Integra = Rover 416
or Mazda Tribute = Ford Escape
Rover 800 = Honda Legend
Ford Telstar = Mazda 626 (?)
Mazda 121 = Ford Fiesta
Ford Probe = (based on) Mazda MX6
Badge engineering has been going on for years and there's no reason this will ever change.
Let's just HOPE the same doesn;t happen with say the new LR Defender and Ford Bronco as was once mooted.
