some of our out-of-state operations have some amazing cars. the car that'* in my 'tar is the holden commadore ss... it'* what the monaro was based off of (which is the GTO here in the states). Its about the same dimensions, has the same driveline, same beautiful fit and finish, and it'* got 4 doors. They just did a slight refresh on it, and while I personally preffer how it looked before, it'* an amazing piece of car. that would sell like crazy if it was available here at all. of course, it'* not...

Can't forget to mention the RWD Holden Caprice full-size sedan,that will,no doubt, be coming our way soon from Down Under(along with it'* Gen III 5.7L engine).....that'* if Bob Lutz wants to compete with the likes of the 300C

Sorry bud, but if my GXP is any example at all the Chrysler gets way better economy. 5 to 10 MPG better from the people I have talked to. This Northstar is way to damn hungry for me.
