In dealing with Traffic offenses in particular motorists can only be
required to stop by marked vehicles.
There are Police cars that are often referred to as 'unmarked' because
they do not carry the normal NZ Police livery, however they do have
the flashing red and blue lights that are concealed, usually behind
front and rear grills and only visible when lit. So if you are
signaled to stop by a Police Officer you must be able to see the red
and blue lights.

So it seems that the Equinox was indeed manufactured in Mexico by GM
(Holden).
