Holden is the name of an Australian car manufacturer. Originally, it
was an independent manufacturer, but has since grown to be a subsidiary
of General Motors. General Motors purchased Holden in 1931 and the
company name was changed to General Motors–Holden's Ltd. In 1998, it was
renamed Holden Ltd. and in May 2005, its name changed once more, so
that it is presently known as GM Holden Ltd. The company has produced a
large number of car models that have bagged “Car of the Year” awards for
many years.
