Holden is owned GM though. Their area of expertise is in mass market, large RWD sedans. Their engineers have got a couple decades more experience doing those cars than their American counterparts have. It makes perfect sense to use that knowledge base.
And they have multiple RWD platforms that were have nothing to do with the Aussies: Y-body, GMT900, and Sigma to name a few. But none of these aren't exactly suited to building a full size sedan with a mid 20k starting price.
