The GM Zeta Platform was developed by GM Holden. The same platform is found in the New Camaro. The front clip and rear end will bolt right on the Pontiac G8 (V6), G8 GT (6.0 L76) and G8 GXP (6.2 LS3). The G8 is called the Holden Commodore VE Series 2 SS V and was built Left Hand Drive, imported and rebadged as a Pontiac. The Chevy SS is a VF Commodore SS. Both cars designed and built in Down Under. What I ordered, was the Tow Bar (hitch) designed by GM Holden. These cars were disigned to town in mind.
Few pics with the hitch.

Also, is imported to Saudi Arabia as Chevrolet Caprice, Brazil as Chevrolet Omega, China as Buick Park Avenue, UK as Vauxhal VXR8 and Opel as Insignia. The US Police version is called the Caprice PPV with the L99 Flex Fuel non AFM/DOD, that one is based as the Holden Statesman.
Funny thing is... in NASCAR, the only car that is NOT US build is the Chevrolet SS and the sanctioning body let GM use it. The SS is what the GXP was supposed to be.
GM decided to shutdown manufacturing in Australia in November of 2017. Toyota and Ford shutdown production also. The assembly line is shut and all workers laid off. However, Holden will continue to exist as Badge Engineered Brand.
Just a tidbit of info. Ford designed and build what was called the Ford Falcon. The movie Mad Max feutured a 70s Ford Falcon XB as the Police Interceptor. The Pursuit units where Holden HQ.
