Default Very confused Commodore ute in Townsville

As I was driving home from work today I saw one of those SS-V utes with the pontiac front on it. As it turner right in front of me I saw the back of it and what happened to on the tailgate? Yep a Chev badge.

So this makes it a Holden Pontiac Chevrolet Commodore SS-V ute. Try explaining that one.

I've also seen Chev badges on a VS Toyota Lexcen, so that's basically a Holden Commodore that thought it was a Toyota but then decided it was a Chev

Like GM he could be in various stages of bankruptcy, anywhere from denial to flat out oblivious...

These commodore chev badged threads are almost as popular as the GTHO speculation ones that arise each week.

Yeah they are pretty frequent but I thought this one had a bit of a twist adding the pontiac nose into it.

By far the saddest is Chev badges on the V6 commodores though

Did it have a #### Off We're Full sticker? Or a southern cross?

LOL! This again...The other day i seen a VE SV6 ute with a chev badge on the back and front.
That also reminds me of some young tool with a 2003 commodore ute with the plates " SICKV6 " God i laughed! You should of heard him revving it thinking it was tough as hell.
Then i gave the XR6 a few revs and floored it up to the speed limit, then he went past and kept going until i couldn't see him, A few k's up the road i see the transport pulling him over!

LMFAO!

But arn't these the ones which were ready for the export market to the US, but never went. So wouldn't the factory have put the Chev badges on?
