Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. A HG/T/K Monaro against a current Monaro is a stupid comparison. Handling, comfort, safety, not to mention all of the goodies on board leave the older Monaros behind. The old Monaros were great in their day but the high performance examples are heavily modified. Original 13" wheels and tyres are no match for 18" jobs of today. As for the jap vs US argument it comes down to if you want a small car or a large one. If overall perfomance and handling is your thing buy a Lotus. From there on in compromise yourself until you get a balance of comfort, size, features etc. I like larger cars so Id go fo a V8 sedan or coupe. If you can live with something smaller then the japs have it nailed.
