When is a Holden not a Holden?

[JonRB]

Reading this week's AutoCar and read a bit of "good news, bad news"

Good news: GM is bringing the 400bhp Holden Monaro into the UK under SVA with a projected price of £33k

Bad news: It's going to be badged as a Vauxhall.

At least an Opel badge might give it a touch of overseas mystery. Like the VX a good car doomed by a badge we all want to shun

[paolow]

ohhh - give me the ford falcon anyday - if theyre good enough for max, theyre good enough for me....
having said that the holden commodore ss is a pretty amazing machine....

[griff2be]

When its a Mungo.

Or a Griff2be for that matter.

WHEN OH WHEN will vauxhall realise that its badge, and griff rhys jones' underpants are the KISS OF DEATH.

They only need to look at the VX200s sales to have the point rammed down their throats.

can that price be right ???!!

I saw this last month at a motorshow listed for $215K which is about 70K pounds!!

No A/C or trimming as it is considered a race car.

This can't be the 7 litre monster just the "normal" 5.7 litre 300KW "slug"

they look like a fat 360 Modena from the rear

[Miraz]

Looks like it will be around the same spec as the GTS coupe sold in Australia but using the LS6 engine instead of the C4B - it isn't the 7 liter monster unfortunately

Mad as a hatter car that one, I wonder if they will bring over the Maloo?
Its a HSV pickup truck, or "ute" as they call them over there.

(do you like my icon people!)

[kylie]

Hey love your icon, where did you get that from? Is there downloads somewhere?

[ANARCHYSTORM]

Yeah - HSV's are pretty wicked. A friend of mine owns two as he imports them from Australia. He owns the smaller 300 odd bhp version? and the bigger 400+ bhp one too. I think the smaller one runs a 5.7 litre engine and has that one in bronze and the larger version is in black. Nice cars and the larger one keeps up with a 355.

They'll sell more of them badged as a Vauxhall than they would if it was badged as a Holden without question...
