Liked the look at first, and was going to put 05 bonnet on the VXR. Think it looks too much like EVO8/Mustang. Think 04 looks cleaner. Exhaust looks good though.

I agree, they have got it sorted in the rear, mmmmm twin exhausts...but just can't get over those bonnet scoops. As the front view pic was slowly downloading I had horrible memories of a late seventies coupe that wasn't Holden..*shudders*

Bring on the 6.0l Gen IV I say..Can't wait!!!

I think we aill have to wait til 2006 for Ls2.

Yes mate, I do know the car you are talking about, but we will not use the 4 letter word on here hay ! Just to say Model, XA was it ? Make, Fix Or Repair Daily. Found On Rubbish Dump.

I do like the Light Blue colour.

Holden Mate, Drive On !

The front end (below the bonnet) the wheels, and the rear end, with the twin exhausts, all look fine. But the bonnet scoops ... nooooooooooo!

Please Vauxhall (Stu Harris) don't pander to the yanks and their bad taste, and tell us that UK Monaros won't be getting those stupid scoops Most people on the Australian forums don't seem to like them either.

How about putting in a decent radio/cd for the UK - i.e one that has RDS and better speakers!!

I didn't think that particular four letter word was allowed here, I even steer clear of 'coke bottles' for that same reason..But i am proud to say that my first car was a warm EH..

Me to mate,

[andy_b]

in Canada and been ready the reaction to the GTO with the scoops too, generally they like it in North America, but with my design head on it actually works less suucssfully on the GTO due to there grille in the bumper.

Anyway,,,,the GTO in N.A has a no-cost delet option for the air intakes, so you can have a nice plain bonnet

This is the offical spec for the Australian Monaro and most likley the UK car too............

The bonnet scoops are ace. It's just the rest of the car. LOL.

It beats me how all those design departments are all so independent and then you see the Rover sidelights, the Peugeot 407 in the grille and so on and so forth.

It has no option to spec the car without intakes on the bonnet....

HSV said it was not cost effective to build, But you never know, we can only hope.

Also read that Holden may not have given up the idea of building the Marilyn (Monaro Convertable),again we can only hope !

Holden Drive On !
