    No Monaro in VE, GMH did a styling exercise called the Coupe60 but it'll probably never see the light of day. Especially since the new Camaro is basically a VE with a different body on top, so I'd say if we get anything it'll be a Camaro. Will have to wait and see what happens. remember that the case to justify to build the Monaro was based upon US sales as a Pontiac. That opportunity is lost with the Camaro being around.

    You are right the V2 look like a 2 door commodore. But put a HK-HX coupe beside a 4 door example of the same series expecially HK-HQ Monaro next to a HK-HQ Kingswood and a HQ-HJ LS next to a HQ-HJ Premier. See the point? Those that make those statements don't understand what a Monaro was. The V2 even got it's own series designation (ie V2), something else HK-HX coupes didn't get!

    Looksed at the VE senators. The wife and I do like them. But I do not see them holding their value for long. A GTS Coupe. Now I see them being worth good money still in 5 years time. 20 years time if we still had it parked in the shed well I would think the same....

    I was told there was no manual VE Senator by a holden dealer. But then again they wanted me to buy one of the cars they had in stock =)

    Never believe the dealer..
    the SV08 was offered with a 6peed manual.
    this was a joint senator and 40 year GTS special. 20 only senators i think 20 only GTS with striping

    The Senator had silver metalic paint,blacked out lower sills, chrome mirrors, special leather seating, parking assist, and 6 speed manual only, small boot spoiler.

    Just really nice car.. oh and a 6.2 yeah ha engine.. 1 for each gear
