Nice interior but the exterior looks a bit tacky :-[ Sorry but all that plastic just doesn't work on a modern 4-door. The old model is far nicer IMO, coupe shape suits it much better.

Is it four seat or five seat - that is the important question

I like the the guard vents and rear lights, they look like the real Monaros I remember and owned, but there's only one problem, it has four doors :-/

As far as I'm concerned a REAL Monaro has only ever had two doors  ;)

Perhaps those guards can be bolted onto the old coupe and a bit of a mod for the rear lights.... now you're talking.

Stop comparing with a Monaro, coz it ain't one. Its a mid size 4 door saloon.

That'll never happen... or at least if it does my judgement will have to be so shot that I'll be more than happy driving around in a 2.0 Ford Galaxy slushomatic with the optional "cruise liner" handling pack.

Children were last thing on my mind before I was married - I now have three under 10s running around, a daughter who likes Omegas, and one of the twins likes to help when I work on the car, and claims ownership of my towball bolt sized spanner.

When you get a girlfriend you ge on with and get married a little switch will pop and you will be happy with little Paul_Ms and Paula_Ms running about.

So don't knock it - also you do not get people carrier cravings either - you will NOT like a Galaxy then either.

You will be looking at VXR8s M5s ect wondering how safe they are for your sprogs.

I know what will happen - people who settle for people carriers were never enthusiatic drivers anyway.

Forgetting the kids for a mo, as you get older, sometimes you really couldn't be bothered with manuals, and a good slushy doesn't seem so back after all.  Then, just for fun, you get a lunatic 1000cc bike ::)

LOL... nah if that happens I'll just  get a chaeffeur ;)

Nothing wrong with having a fun car *and* a fun bike simultaneously. I very nearly had a gixxer thou for last summer but the one I was gonna buy the seller kept messing around (I was going to do a 500 mile round trip to collect and he was totally unaccomodating) so I told him to shove it. Might buy one this year tho, got myself a tidy '99 SV650 about 6 weeks ago to tide me over until something interesting comes up, I do quite like the V-twins.

I have absolutely no intention of getting married.. that's like trying a few beers, finding one you like and refusing to drink anything else for the rest of your life even though there are thousands you've yet to see, let alone taste ;) I'm going to try tasting as many beers as I can along the way :D

Besides, I tend to crap it at the slightest hint of any real commitment. Guess I just enjoy being footloose too much. So I'm safe to continue having fun with 2 seats or even just 2 wheels for the forseeable future :y
