Those pics are massive :shock:

They didn't take that long to load, but smaller pics will fit onto most peoples screens, try and limit it to 1450x1050

The monaro is a cheap and fast car, but it handles shit and i doubt the convertible conversion will help the handling :roll:

[EDIT] Great job on putting the links in rather than the full pictures

It's weird that Holden didn't build it, because this Monaro convertible concept seems ready to production.

the original hard-top coupe is Australian.

how come you guys are dissing the handling? all the vids/reviews i've seen suggest its a lot of fun with plenty of playful oversteer.
