Vivioman Neutral Newbie May 31, 2007 Share May 31, 2007 That may be true, but in oz, everyone calls it "rebadging".... Even the holden commodore is referred to by australian auto columnists as being "rebadged" as a Chevy Lumina when sold in the states. (in Singapore also I believe) it's not a bad word IMHO, in fact, it shows the business creativity of Holden! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear May 31, 2007 Share May 31, 2007 Its considered rebadged if its made by one of the subsidiaries but sold under a different brand name. Why? Because each of these subsidiaries has a certain level of autonomy in its decision making. With the exception of their american firms and daewoo, GM does not have a right to badge it as another brand without approval from that subsidiary. Its like how subaru refused to let one of their cars to be sold as a Saab. Even with parts this is a slight issue as many of the transmissions in the opel/vauxhall range are lotus engineering products which have only been licenced to be used in those models and cannot be made or used with any of their other models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A5__ Neutral Newbie October 2, 2009 Share October 2, 2009 Hi there all owners of the Captiva, was the aircon vents a concern when you bought the SUV? Does the car cool down easily with only the front aircon vent? Especially when parked under direct sunlight for a few hours? This is one of my concerns. Also anyone changed tyres yet? What is the cost like? Has anybody tried this SUV off road? If so, how does it perform? Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundownunder Neutral Newbie March 28, 2011 Share March 28, 2011 I've just gotten mine a second hand last year November '10. Likes: I enjoyed driving it and no issues so far, it's spacious and roomy. The drive on the road is firm & comfortable, the view is great as the car is high. Dislikes: I dislike the beige interior, it gets dirty easily. The car is a camel. FC is bad, 8 to 9km per litre. It's also underpowered. Its been 3 years since captiva had launched, any drivers facing any problems with this car?
