Cadillac Catera vs VT Commodore

[Ozzie]

Built on the VT platform...
Anyone know what parts are interchangable between the two?

1997 Catera

i dont know depends i think most parts are basically the same as they have the 3800 which is the same as the ecotec so i would imagine the parts would be the same

I was thinking along the same lines lol

I would say it has the usa version of our 3.8 with the forward facing throttle body

looks like its a V6 3.0L
and yep its got the forward facing twin throttle manifold

Just looks like a VT with a Statesman-ish front end.

Its built on the VT platform. Same as they did with the Pontiac GTO....
Australia exports the car and the yanks modify it to their standards.

looks more like the opel version to me, which is what the vt scored most of its shape from, but the vt is wider.

Looks like a WH to me... different of course, but at first glance

as for interchangable parts... no idea, but just by looking at that pic, I'd say the doors?

Ps. VT looks better

If it comes from the opel base, Then size matters. The opel versions were smaller all round.
