G8 + Left Hand Drive = why bother!

Umm testing mules - how else do they do reliability testing without driving it in day to day conditions? I'm honestly surprised people are shocked to see an Australian developed car for the American market been tested here?

they do have a limited time (3 months i think) and then the car must go back.
no left to right hand conversion is needed and no age limit for the car applies.
I know this because the guy that owns the house up the road has a brother who still lives in the U.S and he brings out his 93 Camaro each year with Cali plates still on and its permitted for road use here.

Yes but it is not registered here, it is registered over there. There used to be lots of them at Alice Springs too. The 30/25 year thing has been around for a while and although holden use an over 30 year old engine design it still doesn't count...

It could be the new Comaro with slightly changed body panels ???

Seen a few badged 'Lumina' and also the UAE/Thailand bound LWB Chevy's around my neck of the woods too.

I've seen a red one on Cardinia Road in Pakenham a few times on my way home, has a sticker on the rear bumper 'caution: left hand drive'. I'd say it comes from the Holden Proving Ground down @ Lang Lang.
