Iron Duke engine

The lead of the article notes that the 151cu engine is "usually mistaken" as the GM Iron Duke engine, yet everywhere else in the article, it states that engine was in fact used. Which is it? I can't seem to believe that it was used as early as 1974, as GM didn't use it in their American cars until at least 1977. --Vossanova ^o< 19:05, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

General

This entire article seems to have translation problems. Some of it is awkward. Some of it makes no sense. For instance, the word 'enscenated' isn't part of the English language- at least it's not in the OED, and I'm not sure what the writer was trying to convey. There's also a description of an introduction 'spectacle' involving the presence of Stirling Moss during 'counting.' Either the word 'spectacle' is misused, or more likely, the nature of this 'counting' isn't clear in English.

As I have a feeling this is a translation from a Portuguese page, someone fluent in both Portuguese and English should work with the editors on improving this to get the ideas across in a more natural way in English.

Holden connection

I have added citation requests to the sections dealing with the Opala's "Holden styling" and it US collectability. These statements sound like original research. Any perceived similiarity to Holden models is more likley to be the result of international GM styling trends of the time rather than any direct Holden connection.
