It's the scene of the major law enforcement gathering where GM Holden confirms a renewed export deal for the homegrown VE Commodore.
This time the red lion's hero car will be wearing Chevrolet badges, not Pontiac G8 warpaint, as it goes into action with cops in Los Angeles in a deal worth an estimated 20,000 cars a year. With more to come. It's the sort of deal which Ford should have landed years ago with the Falcon, if only Ford had killed the cop-favourite Crown Victoria a bit sooner.
We have more on the police deal here but it's worth remembering the man who put it together, former GM Holden chairman Mark Reuss. He is back in the US now as the product guru for 'New GM' but before he left he promised there was something coming to keep the Commodore running as a major export after the collapse of Pontiac.
Reuss kept his promise and there is more to come on the police car front, one of the biggest and most lucrative potential markets for Holden's hero across the Pacific.
