GM DOES NOT NEED A BAILOUT!

GM already makes awesome cars that sell like hotcakes overseas. They have awesome models worldwide that would do really well here, but they choose not to do so. Why am I paying for GM to receive a tax break when they already make super competitive, fun, reliable and inexpensive cars overseas? Reference holden

GM has been lazy and underselling their cars overseas. It took 15 years to get the Hummer to undertake a simple left/right hand conversion to sell in Australia. Australians are frustrated that really good GM cars (ie Corvette) has never been realsed locally too.

GM has been slow about releasing their world class models everywhere. Why is it that a company like Toyota can make an overall great car, like a Camry, modify it to local markets and have similar product offerings worldwide when GM is simply unable to utilize a global platform for cars?

Hey man, u got support from a lot of people in Norway man.

I'll pass out the word for this, and post a link to your video on my blogsite;)

[HinesBrad]

Thank you for your link. Best wishes.

Your theory doesn't make any sense. Why do they not deserve a bailout because they make holdens that aren't available in the US? Who's to say that anyone would buy them. Our current economy indicates that nobody would.

I think it's indicative of poor quality control and completely uninspired models. There are some awesome Vauxhaul/Holden/Opel models that are sold ocerseas that put a Chevy or Cadillac to shame for the same price. American cars are not competitive with their design and options relative to the competition in the US market. I also think the current US brand line-up is so tainted they need to flush the current brands down the toilet and start importing overseas GM brands to change perceptions

The Pontiac G8 is just a derivative of the car in the video. The Holden Commodore came first.

You are the dumb fuck.

The Camaro has a Holden chassis and suspension. The Zeta platform that the Camaro uses is an Australian design. The VE Commodore was using this platform since 2006, 4 years before the Camaro was released.

And the Commodore are built in Adelaide, South Australia. Not Asia.

[Jaymza30]

AUSSIE BUILT, DEVELOPED AND TUNED AND EXPORTED BY REQUEST FROM COUNTRIES THAT CAN'T BUILD THEM LIKE WE DO! This one is the HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) GTS, which is the flagship of the Holden/HSV line-up. The only American thing about it is the engine, the rest the Americans got from AUSSIES! HOLDEN ALL THE WAY!!! HSV... I JUST WANT ONE!

[XombieZX]

G8 GT THATS all that is
