No, not Korean. Holden has been the Australian GM brand since the 1930's, at least (there is also an Australian Ford). Over the last 20 years or so, there has been much sharing of platforms between US GM and Holden. When GM brought back the Pontiac GTO in the late '90's It was really a Holden. The new Camaro is based on a Holden chassis. Holden even supplies some models to the British GM marque, Vauxhall.

Sorry I'm late into this conversation, but if the Chev Cruze is the same car marketed in Australia as a Holden Cruze, then it's not an 'American' car at
all.........   Korean?

Hi !
after many years of driving ALFAs as daily drivers we finally gave up and
got something that can actually be repaired within 800 miles of here,
has modern safety features, great handling, fine supportive seating,
in an Amereican car - a Chevy Cruze !  and it goes about twice as far
per gasoline dollar as our ALFAs.  a great car for grownups who don't
care about 0-60.
