I'm confused - why so many non-Holden questions here in the Holden section?
As per the title - I look in the Holden section and see umpteen questions about cars, but very few of them Holdens. For example - in the top ten list I see questions about Oldsmobiles, GMC Denalis, Jimmys, Envoys and Yukons, a Silverado, Vauxhall Corsas and Cadilacs.
Now, while I'm sure they're all fine vehicles, none are Holdens, and the Holden section is always like this. None of the other sections dedicated to a particular make seems to be such a magnet for random questions. What could be the attraction?

It's because it depends on which country Yahoo Answers you use. Even though for Yahoo Answers Australia this question is being asked in the Holden section, for Yahoo Answers US, it's coming up in the GMC section.
But people see GMC and think "General Motors Corporation", even though Corporation isn't part of their name. It's just General Motors. So questions regarding GM vehicles (Vauxhall, Cadillac, Chevy, GMC, etc) get put in here.

Actually I think some of them are, GMC would be a bit of a give away I think, have you thought that they are holdens but just in different counties, for some reason ford is ford everywhere, but holdens tend to be named differently in different countries, not only that they dont break down as often lol!
