American motorists have been left baffled after an iconic Australian car was spotted driving around the streets of California.
The iconic white Holden VE pickup truck was the talk of the town after it was caught at an intersection in Riverside, Southern California, on July 4.
“Can someone tell me the name of this car?” the driver wrote in the video, which was shared on social media by Explore Riverside.
Amused commentators were quick to reveal that the car was an iconic Australian model.
“All Australians are rolling their eyes in unison,” one person wrote.
“This happens every second car on the road here in Australia,” another person commented.
“Haha, all you Aussies reading this. That’s an Australian Holden pickup,” said a third.
Holden enthusiasts praised the iconic Australian brand in the comments.

The last Holden Commodore rolled off the production line in Australia in 2017.
Holden’s parent company, General Motors, has decided to stop manufacturing the vehicles in Australia and New Zealand.
General Motors said the move was due to production costs and the investment needed to keep the business running.
A report prepared for the federal government revealed that 805 workers at Holden’s Adelaide manufacturing plant have lost their jobs.
Since production ceased, motor enthusiasts have predicted that the value of limited edition models of Holden vehicles would skyrocket.

A 2016 Holden Commodore is priced between $39,900 and $72,500 according to carsales.com.au.
The Commodore was first introduced as part of the Holden fleet in 1978.
Holden had plans to introduce the Commodores in the United States as the Pontiac G8 in 2008, but General Motors stopped production a year later.
