Passports please! Australia's best (and worst) automotive exports
It's said that Australians love to travel, and that's true of the cars as well. Some were a success, but there were more than a few oddities too.

GM Holden was the Australian subsidiary of General Motors (GM) until it was retired in 2020 after more than 100 years of operations.
The Lion Brand was once a leading local manufacturer, producing a number of models in Australia including the iconic Commodore, Statesman and Caprice.
Other popular nameplates based on global GM models included the Astra, Barina, Captiva, Colorado and Trailblazer. For a short period, Holden also offered the Equinox and Acadia SUVs - rebadged versions of their Chevrolet and GMC equivalents from the US.
