I saw a Pontiac G8 GXP in Boston with Holden badges. Same general idea. It was bad ass for sure. This is definitely something I would do.

I'm surprised I don't see this more often. Apart from the steering wheel, the cosmetic differences between the two are literally a few badges.

I saw a GTO badged as a commadore once. It was pretty hip.

I saw one in Atlanta a year or so ago. Made me wonder for a while.

Props to that guy on the conversion. There used to be a G8 Vauxhall VXR8 around here.

I once saw someone swap the badge on a Buick Regal with a Vauxhall badge, And then i saw the same Pontiac Wave with a Daewoo badge on the back like 5 times.

Everyone in Australia seems to think commodores should have chevy badges, a bit disappointing. Have even seen a v6 with them, as well as ss badges...

Good to see it goes both ways though, all chevy ss's should have Holden badges listed as a no cost option

Not all of us.

It's like a forbidden fruit kind of thing. We don't get Holdens over here unless it has a bow tie on the grill and a V8 under the hood. That means we don't get any of the bad Holdens. Thus the badge can take on a mythos of epic proportions. Once you realize that like the Commodore and the Chevy SS, the last gen Barina and Chevy Aveo are the same car, the mystique of both brands begins to diminish.

I was actually very surprised this summer when I visited australia and saw a couple Holdens badged as a chevy
