[edit] Exports

It is my understanding that the Caprice, not the Statesman is the model used for all overseas exports. As the Caprice is a stand alone model, it is my belief that this article should be re-written to reflect this and the references moved to the Caprice Page. --Simmons001 11:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Both the Caprice and Statesman are exported, and their sales numbers mirror closely those seen in Australia. THe Carpice is no more a stand alone model than the Calias is to the Commodore. In fact, the argument exists to merge the two together, and have a seperate heading under the statesman page to outline the Caprice. Decromin 14:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daewoo Statesman now redirects here.

I just changed the Daewoo Statesman article to redirect here. The original content of that article is included below just in case there is any information there that can usefully be placed into this article.

Original content:

The Daewoo Statesman is a full-size luxury automobile built by Holden Ltd., General Motors' Australian subsidiary, in Elizabeth, South Australia. It is a modified version of the Holden Statesman, and has been marketed in South Korea by GM Daewoo since the summer of 2005. It is the largest rear-wheel drive sedan offered by General Motors.

The GM Daewoo Statesman was launched in 2005 initially with a new 3.6L V6 Alloytec engine, with the 2.8L to follow. Manufacturing began in 2005, with the same engines, sold through the GM Daewoo network as the Daewoo Statesman.

[edit] Photo on Holden Statesman page is a Statesman Caprice

The photo on the Holden Statesman page shows a WB Statesman Caprice, which was not marketed as a Holden. The inclusion of the photo on this page only serves to muddy the waters between the Holden Statesman (VQ onwards) and the Statesman (HQ to WB). I feel that it should be removed.

[edit] Series Wrong

There doesn't seem to be any mention of the earlier series of cars sold by Holden called Caprice and Statesman, based on the Kingswood initially, and then a custom platform until 1983. Theducks 01:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

There is a mention of these models. If you read past the first few sentences, you would see that the article states that prior to the VQ model, the Holden Statesman was produced under the Statesman marque. OSX (talk • contributions) 04:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
