    Default Holden badging on Pontiac G8

    The trend of re-badging is global.
    I found this American website which sells all manner of enhancements for their Pontaic G8 and GTO, including a range genuine Holden badges. Interestingly, they dont sell any Chev badges.
    Ironic much?

    JHP is based in Victoria - but they have made a name for themselves by exporting holden OE and aftermarket gear for holdens to the States.

    They are Chevs in Saudi, Pontiacs in the USA.

    I wouldnt think its ironic at all considering the USA already has Chevrolet over there as a popular brand.

    I've seen one with a "volvo inside" sticker on the rear, which I guess is true for the most part. Don't think it's as bad as having Volvo badging though!
