@Lukas: That's insane. Who is left? Subaru. Daihatsu. That's it, right?
I got a Holden-Mazda product for you: Mazda Roadpacer, a Holden Premier with 13B rotary.
Oops, forgot Subie and Daihatsu. No Holden link-ups that I acn think of.
Also forgot that Mazda Roadpacer - A holden Premier with a rotary engine - I think you've written about it.
Half of Holden's models at present are rebadged Kias - Captiva5 and 7, Cruze, Barina.
An earlier Holden Cruze was the Suzuki Ignis too.
The current Holden Cruz isn't based on the Chevy Cruz instead of the Kia?
Holdens like the Cruze and Captiva are based on Korean-developed Chevrolet. So, formerly Daewoos.
But since now the non-US Chevrolet is mostly comprised of what used to be Daewoo, I don't think we can talk about "colaborating with other companies" here. It's all GM.
