The front is very Magnaesque. Not my cup of tea.

There's been a lot of work go into that. Looks like they used a Ute Lid for the back area?
One thing they said on the other Forum was to check out the exhaust cut-out. It may just be the angle but you think if they'd put that much effort into the car, it would be done properly. Still love it. Has a proper Pontiac Firebird/TransAm look to it now instead of it just being another 2 door Dunnydore. Mike

What the hell's that thing on the centre console that looks like a top hat covered with mirrors?
I agree that the first thing I thought of was "Magna" when I saw that front end, and the whole gold painted interior is a bit OTT for me... |

Whoa, that thing looks ridiculous. Not my sort of car, no siree Bob.
Edit- The second one looks nice from the front, but I hate the rear end. |

That second one is worse than the first..
I don't mind the first one, the nose is a bit *too* pointy though. FastXR - We're you joking, or serious? It's a sub =P |

Yeah it is a sub.
The front end looks like the Penguin from the Batman movie.

Looks like something out of Bat man. First thing I looked for in interior was the wash dials, still present.
The sub in centre console an interesting ideal  :

10 points for being different and 1 point for taste, thats looks quite horrible too be honest and the front reminds me too much of a Magna.

I think the design is very, um brave, but hell, something with that much effort deserves kudos. As for the Magna front? You guys actually seen a Pontiac nose from the 60s or 70s? At least it's trying to pay tribute to it's convoluted history. I've often preferred the Pontiac version of the Chev models, especially the Parisienne...

Damn, now that is original! I like the extensive thought, time and money gone into it, but as a package I don't find it appealing. Has anything remotely radical been done to a Monaro in Oz?
