No its a Holden. The Australian division of GM. Designed and built in OZ, the new Commodore is a bit of 5 series copy IMO. HSV is their special vehicles division. The Pontiac GTO and the Vauxhall ??? are actually the Holden Monaro, designed in OZ.

It's the Hofmeister kink that makes it look like a Beemer. Interesting car.
