Saw this unusual car on Dandenong Road, Melbourne around midnight last night. Looks American, possibly a GM product. Any ideas?

Sure it’s not high end Japanese? Doesn’t look “enough” to be American.
Edit: Well spotted! |

Interestingly, when the indicators blinked, they were orange, not red like they would be normally for an American car.

4 exhaust outlets and a towbar, therefore definitely a big V8, possibly the super-secret RWD sports sedan that Holden have been promising for the last few years.

This is actually the second CT6 I've seen in as many years. The first one I saw was in 2017, during the day, and it was the pre-facelift model (which is why I didn't recognise this one). Why are they testing so many CT6s in Australia?
Anyway the first time I saw one, we were sitting in traffic, so I put down my window and tried to ask the guy about it, but he was rather unfriendly. Didn't seem to want to talk about it much. I mean really, if you don't want people asking you about your car, don't drive around in a Cadillac... |

I'm fairly sure the silver car is a XTS. It's FWD.

It just gives local motor noters something to write about, false hope that GM just might have something good coming up, and a warm fuzzy feeling that GM knows where Aus is, even though they don't give a stuff about Holden's problems with rubbish cars. |

A few of them getting around in the Melbourne suburbs. With a LEFT HAND DRIVE sticker on the windscreen or rear bumper. Seen one in black, one silver and one white so far this year.

Not a bad looking car with exception to the long lights at the front and rear.
