Just a quick one this time. If I were Holden and knew the VF was Zeta's last hurrah, I would do a Gen 4 Monaro. I mean the Gen 3 was late in that platform’s cycle and was only intended to run a few years. It was created to only run small production numbers. So if the Gen 3 was justifiable then, surely a Gen 4 is justifiable now.....
The thing is that they start so much further ahead than when the Gen 3 Monaro/Pontiac GTO was created. For a start a lot of the design work has already been done on Coupe 60. And unlike Gen 3 Monaro, a Gen 4 has an instant export market in that Chevrolet can simply add an SS Coupe to the SS Performance Sedan.
Now some may say it would eat into Camaro sales but I say not if they keep numbers limited, and it's styling and 5 place seating would appeal more to a BMW 3 Coupe buyer demographic...
EDIT: New Caprice Coupe RS, Monaro SS, Chevy SS Coupe & Chevy Nomad SS
If its the same white that on my Captiva I'll take it, got lots of comments from people with white Commodores and Cruzes saying that the white on my Captiva seems to be a little bit brighter then theirs.
^^^ Actually I had to shorten the roof to shorten the rear side window so it could be wound down without the C Pillar becoming too thick. But then the rear deck was 'too' long, so I had to shorten that and the overall length as well...
I'm ready to buy one of these fictitious coupes right now... if only they were actually going to be produced. Price it at 35-40K and I assure you, I wouldn't be the only one forking over the cash. I've been holding off buying a used Caddy STS-V in anticipation of the Chevy SS sedan (or coupe, if the stars aligned...) I need a rear-drive fix other than my Corvette; it would be nice for GM to show us the car already!
looks like a GREAT car. But what i would like to see is something different other then a clone. I have a old grand am coupe for daily use in winter and i love it. NO ONE makes a large, pracitcal coupe anymore. I'd love to see a coupe and wagon version of this in FWD. That certainly would not go against camaro and the FWD and size would be better for us that have to drive it in bad weather and pull family car duty but not be dull. --As longs as we get the 300hp V6
Re: Should Holden do a VF Monaro - thus Chevy SS Coupe?
I like the second coupe and the Shooting Brake! In the US, can WE say MONTE CARLO????
