Holden to End Production of Monaro but Pontiac GTO to Continue
"We wanted to go out with a bang while it was still on top. It was a question of us choosing the timing. Champions retire on top." With these words, spoken by Jason Laird, spokesperson for Holden, GM's Australian arm, the official death knell has sounded for the Monaro. While cars of all makes and models - particularly those not sold in North America - often fall subject to the wielding axe, the mighty Monaro directly affects those who live in the United States, as it is sold there as the Pontiac GTO.
