wow the monaro again didnt last long, they must be trying to keep it as a rare car or something

[evil_monkey]

yours a manual dude ? i would think the manual is probably on par with the auto v6 i think its a confortable car but i wasent impressed with the power of the auto v6 :\

[fourstar82]

its an auto, need I say more... meh at least I'm saving money on petrol now though, getting at least 150kms more out of a tank than my old VS. Anyway, back on topic, I think its a smart move on Holdens part Kenster. It leaves open the window of bringing back the monaro name sometime in the future. It also creates an air of interest and anticipation of when or if they release a new version. But my money is on Holden bringing out the new Camaro to Australia, as there are reports of it being tested at the proving grounds. It will keep Holden in the muscle car game if they do!
