True, the silly thing is V2 Monaro has very little in Common with a Commodore, not even the series designation. A few dash parts and front guards and bonnet. Plus of course the engine and box, although the ECU tune is different. Not even the wheels on V2 CV8 are shared anywhere on any other Holden car (they are a HSV only wheel). VZ Monaro got a unique engine too. HK-HJ coupes had a lot more in common with their sedan versions from the same series, Monaro and LS even shared the same luxury level coding as Kingswood and Premier respectively! VU onwards utes are a lot closer to their Commodore cousins though.
