OK, so let's forget the name Monaro for a minute. Assuming this thing ever gets here under the Holden banner, what would you call it?
Avista doesn't do much for me, but foreign nameplates have been successful for Holden in the past. Commodore was originally a piss-weak Opel that self-destructed during road testing here in the mid 70's, but the name caught on, probably because the original VB was such a good car in comparison with its opposition at that time and was very heavily Australian-engineered by Holden. I haven't seen any reference to a proposed name for the Opel show car.
So, suggestions?
My two bob's worth.
Vendetta or Vigilante. I don't think either name has been used on a mass-produced car before.
