Ah, well here is some food for thought...
The next generation of Holdens are going to be based off Zeta, or known to our Aussie friends, VE.
Many people inside GM, like Bob Lutz aka The Man, like the Holden cars, and one of the reasons why Lutz brought the Monaro here.
Well, this new chassis has peeked GM North America's interest. GM NA has worked with Holden in designing the Zeta chassis, and GM NA will make there own version of it here.
One of the Oshawa plants, the plant where the W bodies are made (Grand Prix, Impala, Monte, LaCrosse) is getting a mega-buck dollar upgrade to start production of this Zeta car. There will be many Zeta plants across the world. The Holden plant is going to start with VE in 07, and there will be plants in North America, China/Korea, and perhaps Europe.
VE chassis will give us cars just like the present sized Holdens. VE/Zeta is very flexable and can be played with to make a small 2dr coupe to a large 4dr sedan or 5dr wagon.
Anyway, I dont want to go too far into this, but its pretty silly to think that Pontiac wont have a Zeta sedan. Buick is said to be first in MY07, and the GTO will probably be ready to go as well. There is also much talk of the Monaro being made here in North America. Therefor, America would make the coupes, and we could exchange the Monaro for...perhaps...the Ute?
