    Local model Monaro vs foreign variants

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Monaro Holden Monaro Advice Holden Monaro 2006

    The new Holden Monaro was sold in the USA as the Pontiac GTO, in the UK as a Vauxhall Monaro VXR, and in South Africa as a Chevrolet Lumina. Is there any advantage to buying one of these exports as a classic?

    If only we had a crystal ball. Unfortunately it's impossible to say with any certainty if the foreign variants of the Monaro will become classics. If any do I would guess it would be the Pontiac with its connections to the GTO, Vauxhall's image in Australia is one of a cardigan wearing, pipe-puffing old timer, and the Chevrolet Lumina doesn't get the pulse racing.
