The prospects of a Holden Monaro entering a new generation via the awesome Coupe 60 concept now rests on the Australian manufacturer securing an export deal.
GM Holden’s new managing director Mark Reuss told GoAuto at the Melbourne International Motor Show last week that if the Coupe 60 was to be put into production, a substantial amount of its projected sales volumes would have to come from overseas.
“It would need to have a healthy export volume somewhere; I mean, 50 per cent of our volume right now is export,” Mr Reuss said.
“To keep the business viable and to keep Holden sustained with manufacturing, we want to export, that is part of it.”
Holden will have its first chance to gather support for a Coupe 60 project at a General Motors internal conference in Orlando, US, next month, where the vehicle’s future as a new member of the Pontiac stable will be high on the agenda.

Fix the nose, dump the skirting, rework the exhaust, and fix the side mirrors. Otherwise, 5 gold stars. I couldn't care less if they called it GTO, Firebird, or G8 Coupe. It is beautiful and modern. I'd seriously consider it as my next car.

Make mine Pacific Slate Metallic/Light Taupe interior or offer blue leater like in the last GTO.
