>Americans take Aussie car >cram huge motor in it >400

didn't the aussie version have the same V8 options?

>>17684717
Idk I thought it was a turbo v6 but I'm probably wrong

>that dull as fuck, uninspired, generic styling

Id look better on a bus.

I got the American sleeper sibling instead.

Id love a holden commodore but they're meme taxed to shit. Expect to pay 15,000$ for one

>>17684817
Well good thing you're already on one.

>>17684734
1st gen had either 3.8 supercharged V6 or 5.7 NA V8. Nobody bought the V6 so from 2nd gen onwards it was V8 only.

My only question for the pontiac is

What did they mean by the front end?
Why did they take a good front end and ruin it?

Explain this... im still confused, why just change something thats already good and make it worse? what was the intention behind it?

were they aiming for a unique feel?

This is my only question when this topic gets discussed

I dont think anyone has ever answered this question for me hopefully someone can help in this thread

>>17684715

styling, would be cool if you could use these as a donor car to build something more elegant/cool

>>17688174
Because Pontiac had a "design language" and tried to incorporate it by changing the grill.

>>17684715
Because I'm poor. If I was in the market, which I may be soon, I'd get it or a WS6.

Honestly I like the Pontiac version a bit better, the wider mouth suits it IMO.

>>17684715
I'm not poor enough to own a Pontiac.

>>17688174
I prefer everything about the Monaro bumper cover except for the fogs, I like big ass round fuck you fog lights.

>>17685017

>>17688912

Well at least we'll be able to import Jap shit like NZ.

>>17689050
Fuck V6's what about the i6

>>17685017
Chevy SS is more comprable

>>17688174
Because pontiacs usually have twin grills.

It let's people know it's a pontiac... It's almost like a pontiac trade mark for lack of a better term.

Man I really like GTOs, dream car is a 67.

But the fucking late models are holding value way too well to be worth buying. Just looked in my local area, still $13k for the cheapest one I could find and it was a 5.7.

>>17689050
this is very depressing

>>17684715
Why would I want an american car
Germany did everything better including a better muscle sedan

Get a 2005 or 2006 for $15k.

I looked up the prices for these...

I can't believe bogans are paying like more than 15k for these still...

why?

>>17689095
>Automatic only

Dropped

>>17689108
They're fairly rare given they were imported and by a dying brand none the less. The US has a massive shortage of rwd manual and powerful cars that isn't a mustang/Camaro/Challenger or Corvette

>>17689050
It's not that they're not allowed, it's that their own government made it financially unviable.

Mining boom pushed the value of the AUD at least 30% higher then normal.

Dutch disease but with iron ore mostly instead of oil.
