I think only around 30-40k are here. Even less g8 commodores

I never seen them.

>>16568156
common in Australia maybe, but it was sold as the Pontiac GTO in America and didn't sell all that well. 45000 over 3 model years. That's atrocious. To compare, the FWD Chevy Monte Carlo of the time was averaging about 100,000 units per year, which is also what the recent Camaros have done here.

The problem is that it was sold here as the Pontiac GTO. You see, here in America, the Pontiac GTO is a historic nameplate. It was the first muscle car of the 1960's and remains an icon to this day. But the new Holden built GTOs did not look how Americans expected a GTO to look. All 2004 models got LS1 V8's. All 2005-2006 models got LS2 V8's. There were no V6's in America.

Here's a direct comparison.

>>16568236
I agree they really fucked up with the naming of the car, even though GTO in Italian means small car in a big engine. It's not just the name though, all the rebadged Holdens in the US sold like shit, just look at the g8 and the SS

>>16568231
>straight pipes and tune.
Noice whats ur dyno?
>>16568236
how sad.

Why did all the holden exports there flop?

I mean they flopped here in aus too

From my limited experiance owning older dunnydoors and keeping up with car culture here (on facey) heres why
VZ-VF2 model year 2004-2017
>Only the hoons like them, and they usually arnt rich boomers and can only mostly afford older used models
>Aforementioned reputation for hoons literally drove away up market customer base and they get euro, jap and american imports instead.
>Very expensive here new, depreciated horribly due to GM Quality issues and high k's
>Retarded Interiors, seriously i fucking hate it and i am aussie, the 2003-2014 ones the interior was absolutely disgusting
>2015-2017 cars where great apart from a below average interior but the writing was on the wall at this point.
>new Up market HSV, Senator, Calais and "Boomer spec" luxury trims didnt really ignite the market like the older VT-VX models did back in the day
Sad really because its a great car with a good chassis (used for drifiting and track work here in aus)

Mainly it was poor sales both home and abroad and over pricing that killed it.

The "GTO/Monaro" where always limited number VT-VX Coupes and will always be rarer.
>>16568255
Is it the same thing there? Yanks i know dont like bland styling and interiors (hence poor reputation over there)

>>16568255
>GTO in Italian means small car in a big engine
Gran Turismo Omologata means homologation special coupe in Italian, which the Pontiac version is not

>>16568255
>>16568284
and it really is a shame the US Holdens sold so poorly. They are fantastic cars.
Change the styling and they sell like hot cakes.
Case in point: The Zeta chassis Camaro. The first Camaro for DECADES to REPEATEDLY outsell the Ford Mustang.

>>16568299
>Gran Turismo Omologata means homologation special coupe in Italian, which the Pontiac version is not
Right. The original GTOs were called the GTOs specifically to piss off Ferrari. That's the main reason.

Rip Zeta chassis.

I'd love to get one here but they still fairly expensive to get one that doesnt have a horrid interior (i think up spec 2009 models or so have a decent interior) but im more then happy with my old 2001 VX1 LS1 based of this lol

RIP opel Omega B

great for drag racing but not so much for cornering because the front end is a bit floppy from the factory, slowly working on mine, gonna get a strut brace soon

LOL it literally looks like my old car

my headunit is different and my cars manual

>>16568284
GFs father owns a 2016 Senator Sig. and I can confirm that it's a pretty reasonable car, it's looks are uncomplicated and muscular and it drives and corners fairly well for a 1.5 tonne barge. The supercharged LSA also makes the most bizzare whine out of any SCd engine it's almost shrill.

All that is great, but not for very nearly $100,000 (or about US $3.50 at the current rate)

I'd rather a new STI Lux, spend some of the change on a few bits and pieces and the rest on speeding tickets/'on the spot cash fines' from the local fun patrol.

Same car, different market, different name.
The US market car had pop up headlights to meet US headlamp height requirements.
The US market car also had different bumpets to meet harsher US crash test laws.
And finally, the US market Scorpions had a different engine. European Montecarlos enjoyed a 120 HP 2.0L. Americans got an emissions strangled 83 HP 1.8L.

Here's the US popup headlights fully open. Yes. They only raise about 20*

It's all one word. And it was called the Scorpion in America because Chevrolet had already trademarked Monte Carlo. So they called it the Scorpion as a nod to Abarth.
