ThreePointSix,
If I buy a Goat, I had planned on changing to the Holden badges for the fenders and the trunk.
You are absolutely right on ALL counts. I've said all along that the Aussie cars look better, and I also like the HSV ducktail better than the Poncho wing. The fender flares look nice too -- I suppose they are saving those for a more expensive model.
If this car was simply called the "Holden Monaro, Imported for Pontiac" (or imported for Buick, for that matter -- remember when Opel was sold at Buick dealers), it wouldn't have generated nearly the hysteria from the reactionary Pontiac zealots. This is arguably the best quality car GM has come up with in decades.
