Chevy does have a modern take on the LUV in international markets like South America. I have no idea if the referenced "LUV project" has anything to do with these vehicles, but based on their recent rebadging of vehicles like the NV200, it's a possibility.

Given the rumors of moving the Commodore platform to US production when local Australian manufacturing shuts down - and the fact the UTE is still a good seller for Holden, it'd make sense that GM would build something similar for export to Aus then. That way you Americans could (finally) get a fully developed (Aus…

Pretty sure this section should be reprinted in every newspaper - every week.

you don't get the cool imported vehicles you want like the Commodore Ute or Ford Falcon ute because of a little thing like this

If you want to label facts as subjective, go ahead - that's your choice.

John Hennessey's reputation as a scam artist probably didn't help the timeline.

I think most people would object to it being labeled as a production car, when it is registered as a Lotus still - this is so Hennessey don't have to go through the hassles and expense of crash testing and certification.

The reality of that car is that it died twice during the run of their "normal" testing / filming. Thus making it unavailable for"The Stig" to do his laps in the dry - (usually one of the last things they film due to light).

based on reports from around the time the Post reporter released details on the Greenbrier - there were already "at least" 4 other similar facilities that were built in the 60's and 70's still available for use. Presumably the newer ones (Greenbrier was started in 1956) are of a better design and the Brier was decided…

It's stripes on green, not on white - but it still fits.

St. George and ANZ both offer this - I have cards from both.

Most banks allow you to design your own card now - it's just a case of uploading the pic and hoping their automated system doesn't reject it on copyright grounds.

Facts, please go and read some.

for a bad aftermarket install?

Cheverolet badges an Australian built model. The reason it's over priced is your terrible $$. Get them while you can - in 3 years the company and plant that makes them will be shutting down for good.

These same cars are used as Police cars in Australia with just an uprated alternator fitted, from the GM parts bin - and no extra batteries, running roof light bar, rear window and front bumper/grill lights - along with the in car camera, ALPR, radar, radios and computers. This entire thing just sounds like a very…

and here's your reason why

Try looking at the $US to $AU exchange rates today, compared to when the G8 was first being sold to see why it is the price it is. Also why Holden is shutting down vehicle manufacturing operations soon.

not to mention the tanking of the $US means any imported car is going to have a hard time
