@kristaga: I drove one of those Volvo Valp during military service. Really funny and rather easy to drive offroad. However, the fuel consumtion was horrendous

i will once i get around to taking the shots.
the amount of misinformation about vaux/opel/holden is unbelievable.
Holden Australia use 3 opel models - Barina, Astra (all variants) and Vectra (and nowhere on earth are the astra and vectra names applied to different models, not even Japan). However, they are all completely reworked for aussie road conditions which are the harshest in the world. Suffice to say that generally the aussie versions are much improved over their european counterparts when tested in australia. Otherwise, Holden produce their own aussie-made vehicles. the most prominent of these is the Commodore (bigger than the Vectra with V6 and V8 variants), which is currently the number-one selling car in the country. Neither it, nor any other Holden, are based on existing Opel/Vaux models - although the original Holden Commodore was an amalgam of two opel vehicles.
The Holden Monaro, and a group of HSV (Holden Special Vehicles - very high end) cars are sold in the UK by Vaux, but are technically still Holdens, or were until recently. Back inthe 70s and early 80s the original Monaro was an Australian motoring icon. the current Monaro, developed only a few years ago, is also sold in the US as with a different grill as the new Pontiac GTO. Australian built Commodores are sold in the Middle East and elsewhere as Cadillacs.

i was mainly commenting on other people's posts (particularly the
"gm = opel/vaux/holden = all the same" misapprehension)
actually i don't drive any of them, and there's only a handful of models in the Holden/GM stable i would ever consider.

there does seem to be some people confused about the whole vaux/opel/holden/gm thing.
its good how a company like vauxhall went from making lawnmowers to being the manufacturer of some very reliable and nice looking cars.
