Holden’s bold plan to ‘de-bogan’ its image, appeal more to Chinese and Indian buyers

[.:4:.]

Yeah, but the ford badge on a ka is the same as on an xr8... the closest thing to a chev badge for a ford is a volvo or mazda badge??? You know, a sub brand.. oh yeah, I forgot, holden is a gm brand...

Do mustang bits on a cheap compact sedan amuse you? that's basically what the GT and phase 3 were.

They were manufactured for and promoted by Ford as far as I know.

I am not aware of Holden dealers delivering cars to Australian customers fitted with Chevy badges from the factory.

I know of a couple of instances of Brisbane dealers offering chev badging as a nco. And not even on Commodores.

Falcons are only sold in Australia, the Commodore is sold in the US as a Chevrolet.

It's also been sold in other parts of the world under the Chevy badge.

Not that I see the point in rebadging a car but there is at least a link.

You can purchase the Chev badges and grille over the spare parts counter at Holden Dealerships and the dealers will also fit them to new cars pre-delivery if you wish.

The Holden dealers should offer lowered suspension and Fox Racing decals as well to complete the look.
