Thats because they ARE an Opel. A rebadged opel. A VE V6 really has no significant Chev componentry in it (Like the V8 Engine), nor is it a rebadged Chev, so no reason to have the Bow tie on it.

Or how about the Chev badge cause they are sold as Chevrolet's in Europe and USA

Mitch_ · 18-10-2006, 10:19 PM

hmmm...i might go buy a Statesman and put some daewoe badges on it...after all..they sell them overseas as daewoes!

MethodX · 18-10-2006, 10:52 PM

So when Ford sold the Mercury Cougar in Australia as a Ford were they doing the same thing?
Or when they rebadged Festivas?

its all GM so whats the diff?

I see what you're saying, but a rebaged SV6, isn't a Chev and nor is any other Commodore.

If the Commodore, was sold in the states, as a Chev, then I would see no dramas, but why badge it, as something, it's not? ;)

nb_351 · 19-10-2006, 07:43 AM

It would be like me, putting a Nissan badge, on my VL, just because it has a Nissan engine.

don't laugh on of the skegs who is often seen in my area has a typically standard looking vl proudly wearing a nismo sticker on the front screen...... i wish i was joking!

Why does it have to be sold in the states? Its sold in a hell of a lot of other countries as a Chev, why can't that do?

To me it's still not a Chev and never will be.

Lol. Im taking an even harder stance.

Chevrolet dont make engines. Chevrolet make cars.

GM makes the LS series of engines. Not chevrolet. It's a complete furphy putting a chev badge on a commodore, regardless of LS series engine....

mUTHA · 19-10-2006, 02:49 PM

holden claim to be australian, holden drivers claim there cars are aussie so why put an overseas car manufacturers badge onnit???

I agree. Holden are supposed to be Australian through and through, started in Australia and still made in Australia (some cars anyhow) so why go and badge it with an american badge? Its supposed to be proudly Australian made and owned, except for the Chev badge......

Or, if the commodore was just a rebadged chev then go for it. But it aint. Its a Holden commodore.

I've even seen a Rodeo whilst in Newcastle with a big chev badge on the back.

You can't argue with stupidity.

Green X · 19-10-2006, 07:45 PM

I agree with most others.

It’s a Holden, not a Chev, I didn’t know chevy made Commodores

The best one is when you see them with the Chev badge, then it’s got the HSV sticker in the back window WTF it’s ether a HSV or a chev it’s can’t be both.

Kobayashi · 19-10-2006, 07:54 PM

Oh god, i hate this thing :P I laugh every time i see one and try my hardest not to scream out *its not a chev you idiot!!!!!!!!!!*

When i bring a chevelle over, i should stick a holden badge on it, NOT
