The aussie suburban

Anyone ever see one of these? the Holden version of the suburban in Australia? its a right hand version of the suburban by Holden. Everything is almost the same except GM were douches and wouldn't let the mirror the Dash so they mirrored the dash from the second gen blazer's LMFAO! it looks terrible! why would GM let them copy everything but the dash is beyond me!

Re: The aussie suburban

the dash would have to grow on me, but so want one

What did holden call it? Was it still all GM drivetrain?

Re: The aussie suburban

I bet it's easier learning to drive it then getting used to looking at that dash

Re: The aussie suburban

It was called the Holden suburban.. but after selling ****ty they changed back to Chevrolet badge mark. same gmt400 platform. you either had a 5.7 vortec or the 6.5 Td 5.7 got the 4l60-e and diesel got the 4l80

I really need to find a pair of these tail lights for mine i like the orange turn signal

Re: The aussie suburban

It's not a case of "letting them copy", Holden is (I'm pretty sure) a wholly owned subsidy of GM...
