well if the cars bland just put your wallet into it

I was one of the first to condemn this car. IT looks like a Ford Contour BUT today, I went to look at trading in my vette for a Caddy (something I dodn't want to do) and the dealer said, "look what I got!"

I wasn't impressed UNTIL I DROVE THE CAR.

This 04 is this 350 v8 with a 4 spd auto...you drive it and you will start looking at what you thought was ugly in a much different light.

I got 27-28 mpg on the hiway at 65mph with my 06 six speed. That was before I put in the heads and cam muah ha ha ha

As for the people who critisize the styling, us aussies like tastefully designed cars without garish ugly bodykits and fake useless scoops and flares that add nothing to performance (ie anything america produces). Consider it understated yet dynamic like BMW M division and Mercs AMG products. And its a proper rear wheel drive v8 at a reasonable price like the muscle cars of old but with handling ability, not a FWD wannabe like the rest of the pontiac range (and many others).

First of all its an australian designed and engineered car with very little input from american engineers, except the engine/transmission from the GM global parts catalogue and a hideous pontiac designed nose. The original Monaro wasnt related to anything america produced but for the 327/350 chev v8 top line models.

@xtranaut just wait til you drive the LS2........ I drove the LS1 and then later bought the LS2 and I gotta say I was absolutely blown away. I don't care what anybody says, you just can't beat these cars, especially with a little money in them ;)

[VseriesSSgxp]

@xtranaut you should really check out a G8 GT or GXP

[blaknite1]

This car had everything but looks.

@knytrydr73 There's about three different versions of that rumour. One is the Pontiac Le Mans (styling cues only) another is that it allegedly borrows its style from an Opel model. In reality, if you can ignore the roofline of the first Monaro, practically EVERYTHING is borrowed from the HK Holden Kingswood sedan on which it's based. Just as the '04 VY Holden Monaro is based on a VX Holden Commodore sedan
