Of course the recent "Pontiac GTO" has been an Australian-designed-and-made Holden Monaro (coupe version of the Commodore sedan)... the Commodore was based on an Opel design. Heck, not based... it was just a MODIFIED Opel... but the new Commodore is an all-new design, and the sedan will be marketed in the US with GTO badges. Same cars were sold in the Middle East as Chevrolet Lumina and in South Africa also. Fortunately for US buyers, the new car will apparently be sold with Aussie-market suspension... the competition won't know what's hit them. -- Regards Andrew
