where is it made?
it looks really nice
i actually like it

[MatsHolden]

Made in Korea by GMDAT (GM Daewoo). Not a bad looking vehicle, although I think it could date quickly.

mmmm I'm still bitter, but I guess it'll suffice.

Size wise the Vectra was getting up to the Commodore size, but the price issue was causing problems. So this car will have to be cheaper so as to not step on the Commodore's toes (again), and it'll also have to be perfectly sized so it doesn't steal sales from the Commodore (being a large-ish sized car for a cheaper price). So built to a price, not to quality.

It'll be interesting to see it work.

edit: hope that makes sense. I've had a few.

Those headlights look like they've been stripped from a 5 series BMW.

They do a bit, particularly the return of the headlight down the side of the front quarter panel, the snakey viper fort of look. I can see a hint of Toyota/Lexus, SAAB and Honda styling cues in certain parts of the vehicle.

True, but you'd need to go the sedan! Dynamics a lot nicer.
