"The G8 is exactly what he said they are going to stop doing."
no, that's entirely incorrect. yes, the G8 is a rebadged holden commodore. but that doesn't matter, because holden doesn't sell vehicles in the states.
It's the same as saying the lexus sc430 is a rebadged toyota soarer (which is the badge under which it's sold in Japan).
If you're rebadging for purposes of selling in a different country, it doesn't really matter. the problem is rebadging the same car and selling it under many different brands IN THE SAME MARKET. that is what they used to do, and what they aren't doing anymore.
