I know that, but I hate the GM badges and the GM bodies and styling.
The Opel GT just seems cooler to me than the Sky (since it's a freaking Saturn). I actually like the Sky/GT and would like an old Sky but rebadged with the correct parts from an Opel to get rid of the Saturn yuckiness and to be unique.

The Vauxhall VXR8 (Vauxhall in Britain, but Holden in Australia) is much beefier than the Pontiac G8 and the new Holden HSV GTS line is ridiculous.

Holden of Australia is what Pontiac should have been all along. Too bad GM didn't realize that until a year before killing the marque.

Hell, those crazy Australians even successfully remade the El Camino.
