Guys I don't think it really matters which division of GM makes them - Chev, Holden or Oldsmobile.....as long as they just fuckin' make 'em!!! Oh...and by the way, stop takin' the piss out of the yanks all the time ya f*&%$#@ ratbags!
Original, Aussie-designed Holdens like the Monaro, Commodore, etc. are cool. Even going back to the days of the Kingswood, you could see the "GM" lines in them. I don't think the General bogs Holden down as much as some of their other brands (particularly in the USA, where we're stuck with Buick after the downsizing), at least they aren't selling crap like the Apollo and other rebadged rubbish. Holden turns out some original, very cool cars.
no offense to all the gm supporters. you know what i mean though, this bpowersman5000 needs to be belted silly. there are a few good beasts in general such as the vettes, vipers and stangs + Cadillacs ( i personally love them) . i think this guy is an embarrassment and should be shot. fuck you, go polish your bf's knob. or has it been a while?
GM will not bring that here. Not that we ever wanted the GTO to begin with, it was Bob Lutz's stupid idea to bring that car here and it sold miserably. Overweight and overpriced. You couldn't GIVE them away. Oh and to stop you Aussie's claiming Chevy bought the Monaro and changed it, they don't have to buy what they already own and they can change what they want whenever they want. That was just a bad decision (Shit car).
It didn't sell well because GM U.S fucked the look up like it does for 90% of the cars they produce / import. Your version was ugly as fuck thanks to you retards. You cant even produce a decent car, exept for the vette. In reality the monaro ( the real version, not gto ) is an awsome car in all aspects. thats why GM AUS were basically designing all the new hot models for U.S. waste of our expertise in my opinion wish holden was indepedent then it wouldnt be dragged down by fuking GM.
To be 100% honest, I am sure the Monaro is quite an awesome car but the problem is when GM US got a hold of it they tone down the suspension and just slaughter a good car. .
They really didn't sell well here, honest. I'm sure they were a hot commodity over in Australia, but here they really weren't. People were mad they had brought back the GTO name but it looked nothing like a GTO. I actually took one out for a drive and was suprised by how nice it was. If the exterior didn't look like the GTO I would probably like it more.
Maybe someday Holden will be free of GM but keep in mind, when that day comes you won't have the LS series motor or the L67 supercharged V6's either. All the good motors you would have from GM US by the way, would go away. You are right, I was wrong.
@bpowersman5000 That's very easy to fix. Change the front and rear bumpers (although a slight pain to order them from Australia) they will bolt right on without any trouble. The badging on the Monaro isn't on the bumpers, so if you want to keep the Pontiac badges, no real problem. There is also the HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) version which makes the US version look a little soft. There was a movie called "The Last Ride." In it, a GTO is stolen, and they customise it with HSV bodywork

Pathetic camera work, crap editing, way to go.
Here's a tip. Get a camera not a phone and learn to be steady. It's not rocket science. Otherwise, you end up with crap footage of something great and nobody wants to sit through your clip
@thagreen72 Yeah......Have the Holden Caprice in "Non-Police" spec, rebadge it as an Oldsmobile, and it will wake up their dealerships. Or they could cut a deal with HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) to sell the Grange; a Caprice that's been tuned and given some steroids
I agree. Its HOLDEN! Not Pontiac! Pontiac buys the Australia car and changes the loyal Holden Brand to Pontiac because the Holden name won't sell in America where as Pontiac is a common name that Americans are use to.
Take a bow Australia you've made us ORIGNAL HOLDEN FANS PROUD.
why does everything have to be a fight between countries, stfu. this is a fuckin video about a car no one cares about the land down under. sure this may be australian but nonetheless, its a car.
