The 04 Malibu and Malibu Maxx have the best interior in an GM vehicle besides the GTO. I've seen it and its not VW or Saab levels at its a lot better then it has been.

Damn! Even the concept '04 GTO is too boring to deserve its lofty moniker.

How about these Holden Monaro Coupes? Do they deserve the GTO's lofty moniker?

Uhmm, actually, yes. That is a definite improvement. I just think the '04 GTO does not inspire awe like a classic Goat does. When I see one (in pix) I think Grand Prix.

But yes, the Holden Monaro GTO is pretty sweet.

Did you browse the Holden website? You have to see the other HSV vehicles.

I love Holdens but everytime I hear something about them I am reminded of 1995 when GM did a couple of nice looking concepts (the 2 door Impala SS comes to mind) and then said oh no we'll just make them Holdens

+ friction · 11-24-2003, 03:54 PM

Oh yeah, the Holdens are awesome. They transform cars without going over-the-top on aesthetic mods. Very clean.

Thanks for the link.

Gm should and I say should sell all the HSV products here to combat all the imports to the likes of BMW and Infiniti.

jred321 · 12-02-2003, 05:12 PM

that aveo looks an awful lot like a renault... if it were mid engined, 2 door, made by renault i'd buy it

StuttersC · 12-25-2003, 11:50 AM

The GTO here is the Holden Monaro coupe, only with a Potiacrap front end.

However, for those of you into it enough, you can import the Holden front bumper cover and transform the GTO into the Holden look and bail on the stodgy Pontiac styling.

I saw the Aveo in person, and would buy that thing in a heartbeat.

Leonardo · 12-25-2003, 11:53 AM

I like the aveo alot and the vibe is nice. Everything else is either ugly or pointless. A suped up Equinox??

vindication · 12-25-2003, 12:02 PM

I like the aveo and I actually like the GTO and can't wait till the supercharged version comes out in 2005 I think
