I was in Australia when these ads came out.  If I
remember correctly, they were exactly alike.  I asked
one of my friends who is an automobile designer about
this and he said that Holden and General Motors had
some sort of business agreement and because of that
the same ads were used, but Ozziefied to make them
more acceptable to Ozzie audiences.
