If you look carefully it is not a Cadillac badge. Holden has a V Series as well, and the badge is different.

But I don't think the Holden fascia and grill would have been enough. That car was here for almost 2 years and just did not sell. I wish it we simply a matter of changing the styling of the grill. I have truly enjoyed every G8 I've driven and the GXP is just about heaven on wheels. But those cars do look nice. HSVs are pretty potent and I imagine there are more and more guys that will recognize that if you can wait for a shipment from Australia, there are a boat load of tuner and aftermarket parts for these cars....................which are hugely poplular down under.

Actually, you can't import Holdens. If you want a Holden in the US, you have to build one.

That, and it was given to Pontiac, which didn't have as much popularity as Chevy. A lot of people think if it became the next-gen Impala it would've sold much more than the G8.
