Everyone is bustin' facts left and right "GM this" and "Ford that" but no one is citing their sources. Its all hearsay.
You got something interesting? Back it up with a fact.
I was about to rag on mooreofit until I did my research and realized he was partially right.
The GTO is awesome. It rides on the GM V platform. Its not australian. The australians took a european chassis and stuck an american engine in it. Remember the Lotus Carlton? Same chassis. Remember the Cadillac Catera? Same chassis. And this chassis is like 40 years old and not australian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_V_platform_(RWD) <---- this is the link that effed up my post
The G8 is riding on the Zeta platform and THAT was developed in Australia. However, the reason the zeta platform was developed was because the V platform was discontinued.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gm_zeta
The CTS rides on a platform that is different than that of the G8. It rides on the Sigma platform, and that is also developed by GM in Australia.

So there ya go.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_GTO#Revival read very carefully!
they did not take the same chassis as the catera that they designed a new one around it so yes im right....
I dont understand. Is that the part youre talking about?your wiki link wrote:The Pontiac GTO was relaunched in the United States in 2004, based on the Holden Monaro's V platform. The Monaro is a 2-door coupe variant of the Australian developed VT/VX Holden Commodore. The Commodore was in turn developed by enlarging the European designed 1994 Opel Omega B, which was marketed in its original form in the U.S. from 1997 to 2001 as the Cadillac Catera.
