Who's got the April Hot Rod and a scanner?

Hot Rod did a story on Holden's Efijy concept. There's a studio shot of it being assembled on page 66. In the background there's an interesting green car. I wish some of our Aussie buddies could see it and give us their impressions.

Maybe. Or is it a coupe? There's a tool box partially blocking it. It looks like it has the GTO's 17" wheels and a racing type fuel filler door on the rear pillar.

How the hell are you on the internet as much as you are but don't have a scanner or a digital camera?!

Seriously that is like spy photo teasing.

Here ya go:



It's hard to scan magazine print!

Anyway... definitely GTO wheels... looks like it could be the same or similar type of vehicle and chassis.

Side profile kinda looks like a Commodore. SV6 type tail lights.

Re: Who's got the April Hot Rod and a scanner?

Note the air vents in the front quarter. They look very similar to the ones that adorned the MT yellow GTO sketch.

However, the rear the 1/4 window area looks suspicously like a 2nd door (either that , a quad coupe or the worlds largest rear seat passenger 1/4 window)

was going to say it looks like its a four door Holden...

and I thought if anything GTO would get away from the rounded edges alot of people said it had that made it look soft. give it some Pontiac creases..

and thanks for the pic

Definitely looks like the same car, but interestingly the photo at
http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/...?modelid=20005 doesn't show the fender vents. I guess the photo could be before the car was completed and they decided to change the fender design, or it could have been changed after the car was shown.
