Except that the Cruze is based upon the Delta platform that was introduced in Korea a year before coming here. Beatle would know whether the same car is also a Holden.

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.
