What more could you want?

Interior = pretty much the GTO's. AWD is rumored, but I'd rather have RWD anyways... I doubt this will be the first and only Holden imported for US sale, though. And I'm not a huge hatch fan, they can keep that.

Well AWD would be nice in Canada. The upcoming Pontiac GTO will not be sold in Canada (not for the first year anyway). :(

It looks like the bastard love child conceived from an orgy of all the best traits of BMW, Honda, GM, Subaru, etc. If cars had DNA, this would make one hell of a Jerry Springer episode finding out who the pappy of that car is! ;)

that's not coming to the US and its not based on the Monaro (wich is hte upcoming GTO). Btw the GTO looks damn nice!


And yes I cannot spell.

Didn't realize Holden had multiple LS1 vehicles... cool for them, sucks for us. The GTO is not too bad, but I suspect Pontiac will ruin it sooner or later with their 'styling'.


HEY!!, Dman is officially smoking something today!!

Seems as if that would be a pretty awesome vehicle. I can dig the looks all around and think it pulls off being a hatchback pretty well.

We could use a few of those AWD LS1 cars here in the states.

GTO is pretty ugly imho,
it looks like the holden monero (sp?) that got violated by GMs 'styling' department... rubbed for her pleasure anyone?

The original sketeches were nice, not too much surface development but nice neverthe less. The final product looked plain and boring a la grand prix

there are no ribs or body cladding on the new GTO! It looks very smooth and very clean. Nothing wrong iwht it!
