Personally I like, but I wouldn't buy one.

These will be huge in Cuba.

I Like It

I think its sexy looking but I wanna know what powers it. If it sounds like a wind-up car or an angry bumble bee, then take it back to jap-land.

Does it come with XM?
I wonder if Ant would dig it? He could get it in black & drive around on Sundays wearing his SS uniform.

That's the Holden Efigy. Corvette body, big 6.0L V8 with roots blower. It's a GM product. It's the GM subsidiary of Australia. The Efigy is a throw-back concept based on a dropped and chopped Merc for the 21st century. Their webpage has a few more of concepts and stuff that aren't bad. http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/vehicleentry?vehicleid=20 The website states the design is based on the 1952 FJ Holden.

Honda,holden what ever it was 6am....

Fuck yeah.

Although the tiny windshield looks barely functional, doesn't look safe. It's like peering out the gun hatch in a WWII tank.

Those fucks in Australia are crazy. All their car divisions have a rear wheel drive super sport sedan that's easily available. And their racing circuits run those things regularly.

We haven't seen performance like those cars by comparison just yet. We're only tipping into it and the cars are way up in the price scale for now.

As far as Honda goes, I'm expecting them to put out another sportscar that is semi-exotic, outdated the moment it hits the street and left to rot in production for 13 years. We'd call it the NSX.

Wow I cant believe that the detroit auto show is noticed by anyone other than detroit anymore. for the last week the only thing you hear about is that damn thing around here.

[BCH]

I changed the thread name. Really, Holden makes some kick ass cars in Australia that I wish they'd make for the US market.

why can't I ever type Australia without hearing Dee Dee say it in my head?

[D.H. Jenkins]

It's beautiful, but it's not very concepty - you can see cars like that at any decent car show.

[Cunt Smasher]

The new GTO was based on a holden.Fucking GM cunts.

[sknight]

Leave it up to GM to fuck up a home run car. A fucking 400hp rwd musclecar is a homerun and they fucked it up. Too fucking cheap to rebody it for how Americans would want it.

The new GTO was based on a holden. Fucking GM cunts.

Doesn't Holden actually build the GTO? Its the Monaro in the rest of the world.

Won't buy GM ever again anyway. Last one was so bad, they bought it back from me for full price with 5K miles and less than a year, of which more than 2 months was spent in the shop. Took the check and bought a Honda.
