    Default Hello

    Hello all, Just took delivery of a very nice ride. Great car, GM needs to build more like it and they might have a chance.

    Look forward to the knowledge and inside on this board.

    LOL, that is the only thing on the "right side" Everything else is made for right hand drive. The radio and climate controls are all powered to the right. It is the complete opposite of what I am used to from GM. hemm Holden

    I wonder if American's put Holden badges on their cars, kinda the opposite of Aussies putting chev bow ties on their cars?

    Anyways, Welcome You will find a wealth of knowledge for your car here:

    Yes, it seems that GM likes to make crappy cars here and the rest of the world gets the better lot.

    It is funny you say that. Some people are getting the Lion badge and putting in place of the rear center emblem. I am only putting on this, where it really belongs on the bottom left side.

    Great car mate. Have to say though...its a tad strange seeing a Commo with the wheel on the wrong side, lol!

    For the record, as far as everything being "geared for RHD", at least its better than the Pontiac GTO, which kept the handbrake on the same side as the RHD models, despite being LHD! Either way, welcome to the forum mate

    I was not really a big fan of the GTO. Local dealers made the mistake of marking up the prices, some over $5k above sticker. That alone hurt sales. Because for about $4k more you could have purchased a Vette. Which back in 2004, I did. Now having 2 kids, I sold the Vette and got the G8.

    That would be so awkward, having everything else on the opposite side that youre used to, I'm sure it'll just take a little getting used to, but that aside, its a GREAT lookin car, I've seen a couple on the road here and I tend to just stare and drool haha.

    I reckon the badges looked good on it though but it still looks mean as!! That V badge will look good, itll suit

    anyway, Enjoy it

    The Pontiac badges and such looked out of place, to much and not well done. The V badge is going on and maybe the lion.

    Why do I have zero posts and can not post right away? Is it because I am American?
