The front bumper was closer to the Commodore Omega instead of Statesman/Caprice. The door handles were unpainted black plastic, same for the fender vent. Vinyl flooring and unfinished door trims. No badging to keep the cost down to not advertise a car that the general public can't buy. They didn't even blank out buttons for the missing Sat Nav and other interior functions, why pay for that.

And its those last two aspects that sums up GM's view of Holden, not good enough to sell as an aspiration purchase, so they flogged them into fleets instead. Same happened with the later Chevy SS, no advertising and a high price to discourage sales.
What a poorly researched video by Doug, I was embarrassed for him. Americans do have a “not made here” syndrome, anything that’s different to their sense of normal blows their mind.

My fave review is Clarkson absolutely hating on the Civic Type R, still so entertaining
