Just herd on the ABC news GM is going to axe Pontiac to stave off bankruptcy. this will affect holdens elizabeth plant, who expoets re badged Commodores/Statesmans & I suppose put a damper in the future of any new monaro/pontiac GTO.
looks like we may end up with just Chevrolet & caddillac in the comming years, rather said to see pontiac go over Buick.

well alchupanibre, looks like opel will be going the same way, or be sold off as a going concern, so you might get your wish.
Holden are pinning all the hopes on the new small car to be built at Elizabeth for that plant to survive, I hope they dont giv |

Torana? Wasnt that originally applied to a Vauxhall? and the slogan From Viva to Victory!
As for calling the CV8 a Monaro I think Holdens did a magnificent job on building it. Not an ugly line on it. As for the plastic well it isnt 1968 anymore and whi
