The aussie car export industry is booming they tell me, with the top purchasers being:
1. Saudi Arabia
2. USA
3. UAE
4. New Zealand
5. Kuwait

And they showed lots of footage of my car, in saudi, being passed by camels.

i don't know exactly what they are exporting to the US,  but i am sure, that they rebadge the Commodore's as Chevy's, and convert them to left hand drive.
well at least they used to.


This is the car i'm sure they export to the US, but i can't seem to find it anywhere, this is the car that is highly loved by the saudi's who spent over $1 billion on them, and this is the car that i drive.

Hmph.  Half of the "American" cars are built in foreign countries and about the same percentage of foreign cars are built in America.

No i don't
I drive australia's number one selling car, a holden commodore.
GM purchase a set number of these each year, put new body kits on them, and re-badge them as Buicks, and sell them.

I would certainly like that, but then of course the fuel economy is out the sh*thole, so prehaps its not the best idea.

Just for the record, every car in existence today pollutes.  And until we have perfected hydrogen fuel cell or fusion power technology, every car will pollute to some extent.

And no, American cars do not pollute more than other cars just because they are american.
