thats exactly it, they rushed perfection, so they got a rushed look...glad to see i'm not the only one who was disappointed |
it's not a rushed look at all. they didn't have time to extensively change the Monaro. the two cars are pretty much the same, except for the grille. |
how much woudl you guys change the highest selling sport sedan in australia before selling it in another market that teh look of teh car tested well in market surveys?
any large company like gm does not rush into these things. the proof is that the gto badges and lieknesses had their copyrights renewed 4YEARS before the car was imported. (about 8months ago they renewed all teh "judge" stuff, can't wait to see what they do with that
)
in an age where it is becoming more common for a car to go from computer redering to production in 2 years they took 4 looking into things.
the styling was choosen because the medium aggresive look and stance goes directly after the bimmer and benz crowd that the car is seeking to steal its market share from.
