Maybe they are also looking at exporting the VF to the US to compliment the Caprice and are looking at consumer feedback. Also, the SS is already running as a Chevrolet in Nascar, so why confuse the market by Having to similar models with 2 different names?

:hmmm:

dont think you got the memo.
it is being "exported" but is going to have a few extra cubes in the engine bay.

still wonder if HRT will change the name to
"chev racing team" and change the lion on the side to the bowtie as a joke :p

is that the point iv been trying to make .. no . the point im making is that its a stupid idea from teams itself , instead of getting the name out , they what change the badge for America so they understand its GM ?? educate dont change what could be seen as a Aussie Representation..

Ah get it over it already would ya?
If they are going to put Chev badges in place of Holden badges, it's obviously because any Holden sold there is sold as a Chev.
The new SS racing in Nascar isn't racing as a Holden is it?
It's called marketing.

They are changing the badges..not their team names..
Holden Racing Team will still be the Holden Racing Team.

Would it be anything else, we all know that the VF is Aussie born, as do the yanks. DILLIGAF would be the term to use loosely in regards to rebadging for world marketing. Do you think they will throw another badge on it when racing in europe, asia or elsewhere ... yep for sure as it a world class vehicle, be proud to know that "VF" has came from the land down under :cool:

Old news is old.

They've done it before, people got over it, and they'll do it again!

Its marketting 101. Showcase a product people can relate to. Americans will see the Chev symbols and automatically relate to GM. This is no different to Ford, except that Ford uses that name worldwide, whereas GM uses its sub brands.
They're not detracting from Holden in anyway shape or form, as some people have in their heads. GM sponsor cars in Australia, and they want to showcase that in America.

OP needs to have a rethink, and realise when he looks at a holden badge, he's actually seeing GM. Likewise buick, pontiac, chev etc
