Question Odd Cars I've Seen in Middle US
I saw this Holden a couple years ago. OK for Australia, but unusual for Texas, USA...

OK, the logo in the grille is Kangi for Toyota, and this is a 2024 Toyota RAV4.

Still have my Chevy 2015 SS 6-stick with LS3 V8. Sold my 2017 SS automatic to coworker in 2018. Both were rebadged as Holdens thru GM Parts department at Dealership. Coworker did the same including Airbag he had shipped from Australia. First Holden was my 2004 Pontiac GTO. Second was my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. GM-Holden assisted Chevy with the initial C5 Camaro Production. Had bought a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS as well with my GMS Employee Discount.

All Chevy Caprice PPV Sedans from 2011-2017 used by Police, Fire, and Border Patrol are Holdens made in Australia with a longer wheelbase and L76 6.0 V8 as its big motor option.

GM-Holden hired BMW's Albert Biermann who was instrumental in designing the best M5 ever the E39 5-Series. After GM-Holden Production ended in 2017 Biermann became head of Hyundai R&D until his retirement December 2021.
