Holden Monaro is being cancelled

[Z32]

epa testing is kinda outdated 👎

i was listening to NPR the other day on this. variances from 3 mpg up to 10!!!

highway speed testing is based off 48mph. anyone doing that today would be road kill. and they assume 5 minutes of stop and go for everyhour. in LA its like 20 min of idling at dead zero if youre in the city =/

I have saw a few of the final Monaro CV8-Z's at Holdens factory storage yard today, sad to see the last ones

Yeah I've seen the ads... they're really making a big deal of them (CV8-Z's) being the last ones eh? I Expect the announcement of a new gen of Monaro sometime after the wrapping comes off the next gen Commodoore...

Its not all sad in the future, but this gen of the Monaro really is a classic car...
Americans simply have no class if the Monaro shape isn't aggressive enough for them. To me the Monaro is the only truly classy car Holden has made.

Woah! Thats awesome! I hope the fenders arnt plastic. I reckon they will be for all the models except the S SV6 SV8 and SS

Why would they put heavier fenders on the faster versions?
And what's wrong with plastic fenders anyway?

Spyshots: How are they supposed to get in? The door handles are covered.

Plastic fenders don't look as cool
