    First impression of the picture? The number plate looks chopped. But it's probably just reflection playing tricks.

    A Vauxhall or Opel badge does not a European car make. It is still a True Blue Aussie car. Built in Melbourne no less.

    No, it's... err... based on the Vectra... yeah, that's right the Vectra and built by hmm... German engineers using French parts under British supervision and I'm pretty sure they had some Italians on the payroll aswell... and some Poles supplied the vodka so the Finns could get drunk... while the Swedes were debating. So there you go: European.

    i'd have sworn it was built by a pair of trained madagascan cyber monkeys using parts salvaged from VW and SEAT under neo-nazi supervision in a tool shed in denmark.

    The Monaro is pure Aussie. You have to go back to a tenuous link to the Opel Commodore.

    We didnt' have a hand in it other then the Brits demanding it and buying every one they were willing to ship
