It’s good morning Oppo over here!

I didn’t even know Holden made FWD cars. I thought they just made sweet Utes and Commodores.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a RHD version of the Alpha platform Camaro that I am aware of, so it would be a bit difficult to have one in Oz (UK versions are LHD, IIRC).

Otherwise, we’d be glad to return the favor for letting GM Canada build the last Camaro on the Zeta platform.

Captiva?! WTF? What kind of person wants a car to be associated with capture? It isn’t used as a police vehicle is it?

GM has a tendency to name vehicles after places in the US, maybe they named it after an island in Florida.

Captiva I think captive.

For capture, you need the Renault Captur.

Some place names are odd. Toyota bafflingly named thier light pickup Tacoma. I’ve been to Tacoma many times. It’s not bad now but, not special either.
