The Holden Apollo is a car that was a badge-engineered version of the Toyota Camry sold in Australia. The badge-engineering scheme was the result of the Button car plan, introduced by the Australian Government in the 1980s. It was built from 1989 to 1997 (paralleling two generations of Camrys). There were some minor cosmetic differences in the grille, trim and tail lights, and it was less successful than the Camry from which it was based. The Apollo was eventually replaced in the Australian market by the Opel Vectra B, locally built and sold as the Holden Vectra.
The car was one of thirteen vehicles involved in the Button plan, which aimed to make the Australian motor business more efficient and eliminate import tariffs. However the plan was unsuccessful, because many of the badge-engineered vehicles sold less successfully than the actual vehicle, and it was the last car to be dropped from the plan in 1997.
[edit] Engines
The Apollo was available with Toyota-sourced engines rather than General Motors engines: a 2.0 litre 16-valve four-cylinder (first gen), 2.2 litre 16-valve four-cylinder (2nd gen), and 3.0 litre V6 were available. The original model, the 1990 JK Apollo, had a carburettor system but it was short lived due to emission standards in Australia.
[edit] Trim levels
There were several trim levels, including the SL (First Gen. only), the SL/X, the SL/E (First Gen. Only) and the GS.[1] The base models offered features such as a two speaker radio cassette tape player, and power steering;[2] while the more 'up-market' models offered features such as power windows, and 'power-lock' doors with central locking.[3]
