actually.........now that i read that...........i should have allready known it!

i was talking to 2 vauxhall emploies and thel guys were asking me about Monaro's (which i dont know much about, other than they are 2 door commodores for people with no kids) and they were saying they were getting them in...........i thought they were taking the piss and having a laugh. looks like they wern't!

i cant see it being to popular here.............unless they go for an 'aussie car' angle, i think that marketing technique might work, it would be different..............

hoons wouldnt go for them at least.....they're not hatchbacks.

i know I would personally rather drive an e46 m3 or 911 turbo over a skyline......

That's where I'm different. Ever since my parents got their first Bluebird in '81 (four days before they were officially launched) I've been a Datto man. Over the years the obsession turned more towards Skylines. Nowadays, a rusty C210 or 249K will turn my head before any Porsche, Bimmer, Merc, etc. I'll admit a Ferarri or Lambo would get noticed but then I'd see the factory fresh looking 120Y behind them and I'm back in Datto land. :D

from memory the monaro has been priced quite highly in the UK. I personally think it is the best car to come out of the GM company that I have seen (not been to the states) but whilst it will get people talking in the short term if you roll up outside the office in it, how long will it last?

Running costs particularly petrol and insurance will be the killer in the UK but if I was an executive I would put my money on a BMW. Have you seen the new 5 series coupe? weird looking car. Seen 3 in the last 2 weeks, one was a convertable. 545ci and looks well odd!

5 series coupe??? nah havent seen it............very few 5 and 7 series around. they devalue at a shocking rate compaired to the 3 series. there are a hell of a lot of 3 series coupes around.............

yeah probbaly the best GM car.........but GM cars are budget crap............for people who want a cheap car, not a good one. i'll just get a 2nd hand good car with my money....

Saw another 5 series coupe yesterday all on 04 plates. I see there is a 7 series one as well but not seen any on the road yet. The 5 series coupe isnt even on the UK BMW site either.

You said what I was thinking with the GM statement, just didnt want to offend people who may drive them on here!

Continuing on from stories/rants of Brit stupidity............

Max Power car mag reported that the 350Z was Nissians replacement for the Skyline because they've ended the Skyline legacy and wont be making them anymore..................i guess they dont consider the V35 to be a Skyline!

How the hell do these people get jobs are car journalists???

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
