not sure if this is a repost but havnt seen it mentioned yet and the search button didnt bring it up either, anyway looks like vauxhall will be continuing the monaro. this time its based on the holden Commodore and comes with either a 262bhp 3.6-litre V6 or a 362bhp 6.0 V8. its said to be on sale within 12 months

that commodore looks like a cross between a new focus (headlights) honda accord (rear end) and then a dodgy rip off of an astra vxr bumper
not keen, but the monaro will be nice, if they bother.

hopefully vauxhall will release one under the vxr badge, release a few more hp from the 6.0 and work on the styling a bit

I would imagine the Monaro will still be a 2 door, that pic is the commodore iirc

even though its not as nice as the old monaro i think it looks nicer than nearly all the new bmws being released
