Anyone seen the Holden Torana TT36 yet? There are rumors going around that it will be the next gen Camaro stateside...

http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring...how-holden.htm

Give me this car in almost any color other than that awful purple/magenta and throw in a nice V8 - call it any damn thing you want (Camaro if you must) - and I'd buy this over the current gen GTO in a heartbeat.

Why does Holden have an ability to design, engineer and manufacture kick-ass cars and the US-based GM companies can't?

Well, maybe not all... Saturn's version of the kappa-based roadster (the SKy) looks better to me than Pontiac's (solstice). And the upcoming Aura, while resembling a Dodge Neon in profile, has more interesting and attractive styling cues than anything Chevy or Pontiac is coming out with. I could be wrong about this, but it looks like it's based on the same architecture as the G6 and Malibu.

Is it just me, or is the Saturn corporate styling starting to look a little Holden-esque?
