Yep your right. I doubt you could even get a straight 6 in the Holden engine bay. Unless it's a small 3L.
I think Ford and BMW are the only companies that sell I6's.

yeah those badges on the side of the car saying 'V6' really should have given it away to your mate....

It costs a s*it load of money to tool up for a new engine. Having tooled up for the Alloytec it does not make sense to scrap it for another engine. The other possibilities are that your mates dad has been sold an as new condition VL, it's the vehicle rumoured to replace the Vectra (a Daewoo with an inline six but I did not think it is being sold here yet) or its not a GM product at all.
