Now why can't GM import a LHD version of the Holden Commodore to America?
Now there's a decent car.

And why does Vauxhall (Opel in the UK) let HSV (Holden Special Vehicles)
import the Commodore Loonmobile as an Holden rather than rebadging it as a
Vauxhall Omega Thundersaloon? (Yes, this is confusing, UK: Vauxhall Omega,
OZ: Holden Commodore, US & C: Cadillac Catera, Rest of Known Universe: Opel
Omega.)   That way Vauxhall could revive the spirit of Vauxhall Carlton
Thundersaloon.

Hmm... I could be wrong but I don't think that the Catera and the Commie are
the same car. The Commie is a big rear drive saloon, the Catera is more
midsized, I think.
