The 2001 version was rebadged by Pontiac in the US and sold as the GTO, it was also sold in Europe, South Africa and the Middle-East making it the most successful Australian production car ever made. It was featured a number of times on the British television show “Top Gear” and won rapturous praise from Jeremy Clarkson.
