Here's the Holden Efijy concept car on display at the General Motors showcase in the parking lot of the Athens Coney Island diner in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak during the 2007 Woodward Dream Cruise.
When I think of American car companies that operate in Australia, I primarily think of Ford, but GM also operates in Australia through their subsidiary, GM Holden Ltd.
The Holden Efijy is a retro-styled concept car with a design evocative of the automobiles of the 1940s and early 1950s, especially the Holden FJ (which was made in 1953; I guess Australian designers were still into curvy styles while American cars were beginning to sprout tailfins).
From Wikipedia:
Richard Ferlazzo was the designer behind the Efijy project. He began sketching the first designs in 1989. The main reason for making this car is purely for entertainment. “Invariably, people smile when they see it for the first time. Efijy is our accolade to the talented designers who cut loose with some fantastically flamboyant styling in the post-war 1940s and 1950s,” Richard Ferlazzo said. “Ask the question, ‘what would these people have created using all the skill sets and technology we have now’, and Efijy might be the all-Australian answer to that question," in relation to the original FJ designers.
The engine used is a Chevrolet 6.0 litre LS2 V8 engine that has been supercharged and modified by Ron Harrop, an ex FJ racer and well respected automotive person in Australia. The engine produces 480 kilowatts (645 bhp) and 775 newton metres (560 ft·lbf) of torque through the rear wheels.

The Saturn L-Series was built from 1999 until 2004. It was based on the platform of the second generation Opel Vectra. The LS2 has a 3.0 litre V6 engine.
