 | | The Holden 48/215, introduced in 1948, was a medium-sized vehicle fitted with a 132 in³ (2.15 L) engine, and based on a design proposed for the 1949 Chevrolet, that had been rejected as being too small for that purpose. |
 | | Holden sold the Nissan Pulsar as a Holden Astra (not to be confused with the Opel-sourced model of the same name) and used the 3.0L turbocharged 6 cylinder engine from Nissan's Nissan Skyline designated BT1 in the VL Commodore (1986-1988)(which was specifically designed by Nissan for Holden). |
 | | This badge engineering proved unpopular with buyers, even though rival Ford had been somewhat successful with its Laser and Telstar models, which were just thinly disguised versions of Mazda of Japan's (The Japanese branch owned by Toyo Kogyo and Ford, while Mazda of America is under Ford) 323 and 626. |
