Noooo...The Monaro has the same LS1 engine as the GTO. In fact, the GTO is a Monaro with a different front grille and bumper.
[if they have to rely on other companies to come up with good ideas and solid cars, then i think thats pretty pathetic. the pontiac solstice and the newer cadillacs are giving us some hope that GM can produce decent automobiles, however.
What other company are you talking about? Holden and Opel is GM and have been for well over a decade. And how about the LS1 engine. That's a full-bred American engine that the Australians has been using for their own for a while, so you can't exactly say the Monaro CV8 is all Austrailian.
