The streets of London aren't just for small 2 liter engine powered cars anymore!

Vauxhall today confirmed it will introduce a true rear-wheel drive musclecar for car enthusiasts - the Monaro.
The new Vauxhall Monaro will be available from the Spring of 2004 powered by a 5.7 litre V8 engine developing 328hp and 347lbs/ft of torque.
This stylish full-sized four-seater coupé will accelerate to 60mph in just over six seconds and reach a top speed in excess of 160mph.
The Monaro was launched in Australia in 2001 and Vauxhall has decided to bring this iconic coupé to car enthusiasts in the UK, but only in a limited number of 300 per year.
The car will be sold in the UK with a comprehensive specification including leather eight-way electric seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, full-size driver, passenger and side airbags, electronic climate control and six-disc autochanger.
There are two driver aids to handle the considerable power and torque, a traction control system - with an off switch - and the accelerator.
The Vauxhall Monaro will start from approx £28,500 and offer more power per pound than any car on the UK roads.
Kevin Wale, Vauxhall managing director, said: "The Vauxhall Monaro is a great car for the real enthusiast. The Monaro is an icon in Australia and I am sure the UK car enthusiast will thoroughly enjoy it. This also demonstrates GM's ability to bring the best of its products to fill niches in other markets."

Holden should be a global brand.......
:flush: :Heads:Dude, Pontiac will never become a global brand. Not while Opel/Vauxhall/Holden are around to serve Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
IMO, Pontiac has no real meaning over here. Chevrolet would make it here before Pontiac would. In fact, there is talk that Holden may get rid of the GM Daewoo badge in Australia and rebadge all GM Daewoo vehicles as Chevrolet's. There is even talk of it in the UK as well, due to poor sales and the fact people don't have alot of faith in the GM Daewoo badge anymore.
GM want's to make Chevrolet the global brand for GM.
