But I looked at all makes and models and no one had a yellow one so I bought a blue Colorado the other DAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Very nice. You have certainly got a secret Santa or you had a very well paid job. Don’t go much on the parking though. . Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That parking is at a restaurant I went to and no one minds and it was quite unintentional. Sorry about posting my photo, if the mods want to delete it it’s fine with me.

Dadtom65 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Just one more as I didn’t say before , that yellow beast was actually moving in the scenery, so it must have had a programmed route. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Australia and New Zealand General Motors are called Holden, in Europe they were called Opel until GMC sold that off recently. Holden has been around over 100 years now and was taken over by GMC in early 1900's, they have sold a lot of models that were never available in the USA, if you remember the original Mad Max movie they used a 1973 Holden Monaro, a lot of Australian Muscle cars were not available in the USA and vice versa, here is a good history about it:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden The Holden Commodore is another model that has been popular for decades and used as police interceptorshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Commodore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only similarity between the Australian/NZ Colorado to the Colorado that Jack Sawyer has....is the name! The Australian/NZ Colorado is smaller, designed in the Brazil GM Studio -now defunct- and is manufactured in Thailand. It shares the same architecture as the Isuzu D-max. The US Colorado is a completely different vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US Colorado is a completely different vehicle. I said that, I pointed out prior to that post that our model was made in Rayong factory in Thailand and then I said This is your truck as sold in New Zealand What he and I had was rapport which is a positive thing compared to nitpicking If you go back and read those threads again I didn't say it was the same thing, it was a positive conversation that led to his learning about Holden which is a good thing But if you want to nitpick there are probably 60% similarities on common parts found from various suppliers from around the world found on each vehicle and differences as well, the biggest difference of course being Left Hand drive vs Right Hand drive. Now we are getting into the tip of the iceberg on differences but yes common parts as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
