No, it's... err... based on the Vectra... yeah, that's right the Vectra and built by hmm... German engineers using French parts under British supervision and I'm pretty sure they had some Italians on the payroll aswell... and some Poles supplied the vodka so the Finns could get drunk... while the Swedes were debating.

i'd have sworn it was built by a pair of trained madagascan cyber monkeys using parts salvaged from VW and SEAT under neo-nazi supervision in a tool shed in denmark.No, it's... err... based on the Vectra... yeah, that's right the Vectra and built by hmm...

The Monaro is pure Aussie. You have to go back to a tenuous link to the Opel Commodore.No, it's... err... based on the Vectra... yeah, that's right the Vectra and built by hmm...

Just a minor technicality I know .. but about 45% of your True Blue Aussie car is fully imported, including engine/transmission
Btw Holdens are manufactured in Adelaide - a 9 hour drive from Melbourne

I need to drive that Monaro at some point. It looks like fun, but I'll need an airfield I think.

But how is this for a shock, My mate delivered the first bunch of 6LT Monaros to be shipped overseas, This was before it was ready to go, Down here that was 2, He had his Phone removed truck checked and truck searched, Plus he had a Security guard with him, He said it was the Monaro it looked like a BMW front grill with 6LT badge on it. The rest was coverd. I said that's the GTO. He said the guy loading them on board said these engines are to powerful for AustraliaWelcome to the Volvoman
