From those pics, it looks like they solved the dual exhaust only coming out from one side of the rear problem.

Re: New AWD Monaro revealed

Thats HSV... Is holden bringing out a AWD Monaro?

Also I've noticed some of the SSX styling seems to have crossed over into the Coupe 4

OK. I've cleaned most of the drool off my keyboard.

Let me get this straight. Australia has a population of around 20 million, and can support the Holden product portfolio but GMNA can't generate a viable business plan for a similar portfolio ...especially the affordable RWD/AWD stuff .... for a market of 300 million

There is alot more surprizes to come regarding Monaro (and other V-* series cars), as a couple of you already know.

One model in particular will make about 15-20% of you very very happy.

Ok I’m usually the one asking the dumb obvious questions on this board, but does this mean we could see an AWD GTO in a few years?

GMNA could bring it over...It depends on the success of the current GTO, I guess

A long time ago, I got into a heated long running discussion with someone who felt the next Camaro should have AWD to attract "kids" (yea, I questioned that reasoning too) since the Skyline GTR did. My point was that RWD based AWD was heavy & expensive (the Skyline GTR cost about $65-70K).

Just found out the price target for the AWD Monaro. It's going to be about AU$93,000.

Translation: the AWD Monaro is going to cost a hair over $50,000 in US currency.

Basis of a future Cadillac?

GTO/Chevelle/Impala?
