the pontiac solstice and the newer cadillacs are giving us some hope that GM can produce decent automobiles, however.
GM is moving to global platforms.
The Solstice was at least going to be shared with Vauxhall.
The CTS and SRX are built on the Epsilon platform which, surprise surprise, will probably underpin the next Opel Omega and most of the big rwd Holdens.
Cars like the Saab 9-3 are built on the Sigma platform which of all things is also used to underpin the new Chevy Malibu.
Holden and Opel have been fully-owned subsidiaries of GM for a long time now. The old Opel Omega platform is used all over the world, not just Europe and Australia. Hell, they call it the Chevy Lumina in Saudi Arabia.
If it's still made totally in-house by a GM division then does it really matter where that GM division is headquartered?
