HSV & Monaro Forum GTS is not compareable to standard Monaro, VXR yes but it is still a lesser cousin pricewise from new. Everyone knows you can pull more than a standard GTS from a Monaro with a good pcm tune and of course aftermarket brakes, shocks springs etc are all there to take performance up to and past the HSV's. Similar to say a GTS in Dover compared to one in Inverness, albiet a greater distance, so there must be some relationship between the two. www.hsv.org.uk /topic.asp?f=69&h=0&t=158340   (1613 words)

Holden Monaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Monaro is regarded as one of Australia's greatest muscle cars, alongside the Ford Falcon GT, Chrysler's Valiant Charger, and high-performance versions of Holden's own Torana, but it was also produced in much more 'standard' and luxury versions, powered by a variety of lower powered six-cylinder and V8 engines. The Monaro is a vehicle produced by Holden, the Australian branch of General Motors. The Monaro was produced from 1968 to 1979, and then re-introduced onto the Australian and New Zealand markets in 2001 (discontinued in late 2005). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vauxhall_Monaro   (1194 words)

AutoWeb - 21 Years Of Holden Commodore Described by Holden as "the first of a new wave of Australian cars specifically designed for the eighties" the first Commodore's high levels of comfort, generous standard equipment and excellent performance and handling capabilities brought a new level of sophistication to the market. Holden invested $110 million in the design and development of the VB Commodore, which was the first Holden to be based on a European design. A Commodore wagon model, built on the same wheelbase as the sedan and available in base model and SL versions, was introduced in July 1989. www.autoweb.com.au /cms/newsarticle.html?&id=HOL&doc=gmh9910011   (1508 words)

Holden WH Statesman / Caprice Holden underlines its commitment to technological leadership and to satisfying customer needs with the introduction of the Holden Assist in-car communications system as standard fitment on Caprice and as an option offered to Statesman buyers. Holden and its Melbourne-based conversion partner, Maverick Motor Industries, have started building the first of what it hopes may be 2000 police car packs a year for the Middle East market. Another reason Holden should be hopeful for US police export orders is news that the Ford Crown Victoria, the last remaining rear-drive police car of choice, is rumoured to be switching to front drive in two years. www.users.on.net /~nweber/holden/wh/index.html   (896 words)

GM Holden Beefs Up Small-Car Lineup GM Holden says it will shift the balance in Australia’s light-car (subcompact) market with a new Barina starting below A$13,000 ($9,800), with air conditioning as standard when it debuts Dec.1.

Holden Barina and Viva (2005-) October 2005 Car Review - CarPoint Australia Even knowing that Holden has 'localised' the new Barina and Viva significantly more, the company says, than any other imported models, it's soon clear that their driving is more about comfort than speed. For perspective, the 1990 Barina cost $13,990 without standard air conditioning, airbags and remote central locking, and had a carburetted engine offering about 50 per cent less power than the newcomer. Being a bit larger overall than its predecessor, the new Barina is roomier on the inside too, with more legroom and shoulder width and a tad more head space up front, a little less in the rear. onlinecarinsurance.carpoint.ninemsn.com.au /internallink.asp?ID=7690   (1618 words)

Holden Barina Swing NRMA original car review - Motoring - MyNRMA There's nothing special about the Barina's braking system - just front discs and rear drums with no ABS available (except for the GSi, which has it as standard) - but generally, the brakes are up to the job required of them. With the addition of multipoint electronic fuel injection, Holden is claiming a 36 per cent boost in power for the 1.4 litre Barina engine (from 44 kW to 60 kW). Holden's popular small car, the good looking Barina, recently received an upgrade, with more engine power, suspension changes, an exterior facelift with new paint colours, and new interior trim fabrics. www.mynrma.com.au /barina-swing_holdenbasjan.asp   (685 words)

Holden Barina SRi 1000km car review - Motoring - MyNRMA The Holden 1.8 (also used in the Astra) is very efficient, returning 6.9 litres/100 km on the highway and 9.1 litres/100 km in the city. Holden's Barina SRi proves that an enjoyable sportster doesn't necessarily need mega power and a high pricetag. The standard Barina's ride is on the firm side of comfortable. www.mynrma.com.au /barina-sri_holden_barina_sri.asp   (1009 words)

Holden - Gemini The next incarnation of the Gemini was the TD which was introduced by Holden in March 1978. The Gemini got it's power from an Isuzu 1584cc 4 cylinder single overhead cam petrol engine, four on the floor was standard with trimatic auto as an option. The first generation Gemini was introduced as Isuzu Bellett Gemini in November 1974 as a 4-door Sedan and a 2-door Coupé with the same body shell as the third generation Opel Kadett (wheelbase 235 cm). hh.hansenits.com /model/gemini.html   (1009 words)

Denny's Holden Gemini / Isuzu Gemini Coupe To get about, I was driving the family Holden Gemini sedan; A very early TX (1975) which served as the family car over the course of no less than 15 years. The Gemini currently uses 260 mm vented disks with Girlock 4 spot calipers on the front and the standard Isuzu ZZ-R 229 mm disk brake rear end set-up. The idea he had, was to find a good body shell of a Holden Gemini Coupe and fit it with Isuzu ZZ-R running gear which for a fair amount of money we could get.... homepages.tig.com.au /~denny117/gemini/gemini.html   (1009 words)

Holden Commodore SV8 - RSportsCars.com Alan Blazevic, Holden’s Marketing Manager Passenger Cars, said the move to give the Commodore SV8 the same sporty design cues as the popular Commodore SV6 was consistent with the company’s market-responsive philosophy. To be released in February, the competitively priced Commodore SV8 also benefits from an increase in standard specification to better align with the SV6. The performance of Commodore SV8’s high output 250kW Gen III V8 engine will be highlighted by more overt sports styling cues –a deep front facia with fog lamps, large air dam with hexagonal mesh insert, mesh grille, black bezel headlamps, side and rear skirts and sports styled five-spoke alloy wheels. www.rsportscars.com /eng/cars/commodore_sv8.asp   (400 words)

Holden VY Commodore S: Road Test / News & Reports / Motoring / Web Wombat The Blaupunkt stereo, now standard with all Commodores, is a pretty sweet piece of kit, and the S model we drove included a handy in-dash CD six stacker. At the end of the day, Holden has done what it needed to do to fend off a reinvigorated Ford, and the new styling alone is worth the price of admission. The Commodore S is easily one of the most aggressively styled sports sedans that's ever come out of Fisherman's Bend, and with performance and comfort to match, it comes highly recommended. www.webwombat.com.au /motoring/news_reports/XRT_commo2.htm   (1143 words)

Holden Torana TT36 Concept - Image galley - Business Standard Motoring Holden says that the Torana is significant because it is the first to move away from the Holden-standard Commodore V-Car showcar platform. The Holden Torana TT36 Concept, to give it the full moniker, is a ground -up new car that revives the old Torana name. As a result, this Australian powerhouse is also the closest Holden yet, to GM's global sports concepts. www.bsmotoring.com /walpprs/holdentoranatt36/index.htm   (225 words)

Holden's Convertible Monaro : News & Reports : Motoring : Web Wombat Although the Monaro convertible will never see the inside of a Holden or HSV showroom, it's still a very pretty car, and when it's packing the General's standard issue weapon - the 5.7-litre, 16-valve V8- it would have made for one of the faster drop tops on Australian roads. The conservatively-styled Monaro convertible gets a fully lined and insulated black canopy, which was designed as a six-bow system to retain the coupe's styling, and roof operation is fully automatic with a "competitive" cycle time according to Holden. Road Test editor Feann Torr test drove one of Holden's Monaros (which sells as a Pontiac GTO in the states) back in September 2003, and he had plenty of praise for the big V8. www.webwombat.com.au /motoring/news_reports/holden-marilyn.htm   (832 words)

New Car Reviews - Holden Monaro CV8 - Off Topic Central Holden builds it, and Bob Lutz brought it over, but the new GTO may, in part, be my fault. Back in 1998 I drove a Holden VT- series Commodore sedan (“donor” car for the current Holden Monaro coupe) from Los Angeles to New York. But having previously taken the modification route with the Mazda, it wasn't long before he started having similar non-standard ideas about the big coupe. www.otcentral.com /forum/showthread.php?s=63354a8f847aedad9089d0b9f621ada5&mode=hybrid&t=13935   (6232 words)

Unique Cars and Parts The Kingswood had enjoyed the title as "Australia's Most Popular Car", but with purchasers forced to 'option' the AM radio it is little wonder that the Datsun, equipped with far more standard features, would make a dent in the Kingswoods sales. Sitting between the forever popular Kingswood and the upmarket Statesman’s, the "Prem" oozed class in a less overt way than its larger brother – while creating a distinctive upper class appearance to the Kingswood’s and Belmont&. The Holden Station Wagon had been a favourite since it was introduced in the FE lineup back in 1956. www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au /PDFgallery_02.htm   (734 words)

Holden impressed the interviewing committee with her years of experience as a choral music educator of children,” says John Dyer, Chattanooga Girls Choir founder and corporate board member.

Holden Astra CD June 2004 Car Review - CarPoint Australia Astra not only boasts the only rear-seat vents of the bunch, it also has standard cruise and a leather gearknob to garnish its $26,870 sticker. HOLDEN ASTRA CD It's nearly six years since Holden's current-generation Astra arrived on Aussie soil, making it six straight years of class leadership. The Astra's age is betrayed by its staid dashboard design and low-budget, scratch-prone plastics, although all that applied in 1998, so at least we're used to it. kiwi.carpoint.ninemsn.com.au /portal/alias__carpointau/tabID__6485/ArticleID__6234/DesktopDefault.aspx   (734 words)

Holden Astra Astra’s steering column is fixed in place with no tilt adjustment, lack of which is almost a novelty nowadays, yet the driving position is quite good with generous legroom and a generally spacious feel to the cabin, which has a most acceptable standard of trim finish for its class. There are three engines in the Astra lineup - 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 litre - and since GL is the mid-range volume seller there are no prizes for guessing that our test car was motivated by the 1.8 litre powerplant with automatic transmission.. The little torch in its key is quite handy, since the interior light goes off as soon as you close the doors and the ignition lock is almost hidden away behind the steering wheel, but the solid `thunk’of the closing doors is followed by an even more reassuring sound when the power deadlocks slide home. www.fastlane.com.au /reviews/Astra.htm   (734 words)
