To my understanding, the Holden Caprice (nice American name, there, lol) actually will make it to the US market, as a Pontiac.
No, it’s the Holden VE Commodore, a smaller car, that’s coming over as the Pontiac G8. The Caprice is larger.

Given the GTO flop, that surprises me.
Oh, also - Holden used to make and sell the American Caprice down there... but when GM stopped making RWD sedans, the Australians didn’t buy into the FWD concept and Holden struck out on their own and built their own platforms with the old names.
Holden’s managed to survive and thrive because nobody at GM USA was paying any attention to what GM Australia was doing. So long as they turned a profit, GM USA could care less. Now GM Aus and their designs might end up saving the company... if GM USA lets it.
