I agree on that quote.
As for the hipe of selling more GTO Pontiac badged Monaro's. These blokes need to do a trip over and drive for over a month through over 40 different states and 12,000+ miles then tell me how many they see on the road. I saw none.There was quite a few Chrysler X/fires& P/T cruisers. ButTuarus's, Sabels,Maxima's,Hondas & Camery's were the most common passager cars on the roads & they were well out numbered buy the SUV's.
Plus I read a artical that GM in America wants to take the manufacturing of the Monaro's,Statemans & Utes of Australia and export them back & around the world badged as Holdens, Chev's, Buicks & Pontiac's.Maybe because the US build crap passanger cars nowday's. If this happens and is succesful who knows the Aussie arm of Ford might end up getting a model of the premium (e.g Fairlane,LTD)ford models built over there and exported back & around the world badged as Mercury's or Crowns.
