Quote: When referencing the GTO, we need to remember that it was an Australian-built Holden, which GM slapped the GTO name on and stuck in the big engine.
The big problem with the GTO is price. There were magazine articles with the Monaro and ute with domestic (AU) pricing slightly lower than the Mustang. When it got here, it was almost 10k more. Underpowered or bland styling would have been minor grumbles if it was 21-25k. At 35k it was a killer. They 'fixed' the power and styling, but the price is still too high. When GM had the fire sales, the vette and the GTO were not included.
