You're not serious. I refuse to believe that you just typed and posted that.
Actually, that's pretty accurate, seeing as the Holden Monaro(US GTO) and the Cadillac Catera are spinoffs of the Opel Omega platform.
See:(Paste and copied from Car and Driver's website):
"Wish all you want, but GM won't spend hundreds of millions right now to bring us an all-new replacement for the Firebird. We've seen GTO concepts, some based on the front-drive Pontiac Grand Am and most recently a vile orange nonrunning concept car at the 1999 Detroit show that was too ugly even for Hot Wheels to build. We respectfully yawned in GM's face. So instead, we get a decade-old platform derived from the European Opel Omega and Cadillac Catera sedans."
