Holden Gemini (TX). 1975–7 (prod. 42,792). 4-door sedan, 2-door coupé. F/R, 1584 cm³ (4 cyl. OHC). Holden edition of GM’s T-car, twinned with Isuzu Gemini and filling the Torana’s former four-cylinder niche. The name was licensed from Isuzu, and suggested the car’s dual manufacture (Japan and Australia). Cars even badged Holden–Isuzu, in the way the Japanese car wore Buick/Opel badges in the US. High standard of equipment for the 1970s, and sold on Japanese features alongside Holden dependability. Wheels Car of the Year for 1975–6.
