	Holden Monaro
		Fans of the Falcon GT and Valiant Charger may have derided the Monaro, but it was because of the competition, both on the race track and at the showroom, that 1970’s Australia offered such a wonderful array of quality performance machinery.
		Regarded as the most sophisticated of the early Monaro models, the HG is today one of the rarest and most sought-after of the charismatic Holden coupes.

		The 1692kg Monaro is a relatively large car but drive it on a narrow, twisting road and is shrinks around you – the suspension, steering and overall feel come together very well.
		The Monaro exhibits a mild amount of turn-in understeer but the chassis is wonderfully throttle-responsive through the mid and late section of a corner.

	Next Holden Monaro to Coincide with "Sister" Vehicle; Possibly Camaro or GTO - Jalopnik
		According to one Holden exec, live from kangaroo corner, the next Monaro -- we know it as "bizarro Pontiac GTO" -- is a go, but won't be ready in "six months or a year" even, and that the economics require a "sister vehicle" to make the plan viable, Edmunds Inside Line is reporting.
		Holden, as we've said, is the incubator for GM's upcoming rear-drive muscle coupes built on the Zeta(ish) platform.
		The last Monaro had to be butched up some because a) it looked like a slightly melted Chevy Cavalier, and b) the new Mustang had just come out and Ford scored major style points with it.

	2003 Holden Monaro Series II - Road tests - CARSguide
		The latest Monaro CV2 Series II was the obvious choice, so we've just been driving an automatic CV8 to remind ourselves about our favourite Holden and how it lines up against the fast Fords.
		But Holden has held the price on the Monaro, with the V6-powered CV6 from $48,710 and the CV8 at $57,850 with the four-speed auto or the six-speed manual gearbox.
		Some say the Monaro is tiring to drive, and we'd prefer an XR8 for a Melbourne-Sydney run up the Hume Freeway, but if the trip took us around the coast we'd be more likely to go for the Holden.
