Apparently New Zealand was not quite so anti- the Opel built Commodore. That said, with GM selling off Opel to Stellantis during this period it would have not really mattered---there wasn't much future for RHD GM vehicles unless Australia/NZ went gaga for them. We have a Buick Regal TourX...

Fascinating! I was at GM in the US during the death throes of Holden----wanted a Chevrolet SS but never could quiiiiite pull the trigger. We tried to launch OnStar down there (as part of their Holden v2 import-only strategy--trying to show technological leadership) but the failure of the...
