RIP Holden (officially now)

Its a Dart I believe.

I don't know, that big ass gold bowtie looked awful on the SS. I'd rather have a black one or flowtie.... I didn't really like the holden badge on the SS but I thought the holdenized GTOs looked a lot better than OE.

The pontiac thingy is an arrowhead, and is also better than the gold bowtie.

 

[EmersonHart13]

It is, too bad its dead

 

[ragingclue]

Yup, that was a sad day too.

Never understood why. The Holden badges are ugly! Id rather have a bowtie or whatever you call that Pontiac thingy...

I agree, I own a Pontiac (or a Chevy if I owned an SS), and I like the Pontiac arrowhead/dart or a bowtie.

I will say though, that at least for the GTO, I like the front body work and fog light treatment better on the Monaro and then on the interior there were some trim pieces and of course the Monaro came with a digital HVAC unit that none of us got. I would've loved to convert that but it is a completely different setup/system. Otherwise I like it the way it is.

I actually favor the GTO front and rear bumpers compared to the Holden parts.

Expect a lot of changes for GM in the coming year. Did anybody notice that Opel is no longer owned by GM? Hence, no more Buick cars and a complete axing of Holden. GM announced last year that 2020 was going to be a year for downsizing in order to reorganize and focus on building better cars for their bigger markets. Some more sad things might happen, but it will be for the greater good of their products in the long run.

Good! Can the GM retards that slap Holden badges all over their GTO and Chevy SS cars stop that now?

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Even though its got a Vauxall badge its a Holden at heart. I salute the Holden Maloo.

Still want a G8 and turn it into a Lumina SS

 

[CMNTMXR57]

That place in Colorado that does conversions I'm sure could do it.

 

[RICH17]

It's really just a Holden bumper with a bowtie added.



Volo had years ago a listing for a 2008 Lumina SS but zero pictures that I could find. and really no description.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

If you want the whole thing though, interior, exterior, etc. there is more involved. Yes you can do it. Guys like Lou in our group did it (in his case, his GTO), but it's a lot or work.

THANK YOUUUUUUU

. Seen a white SS today in Hodgkins all Holden badged. I mean.... It's true....

 

[CMNTMXR57]

This was an SS I put an offer in on (before I got the G8), but the dealer wouldn't budge...

And I hated to admit it... I LIKED it! A lot actually!

 

[DEEZUZ]

I sware to fuck man.... If they were AWD.....














I'd still not be buying.

[Bob Kazamakis]

your car at least went a step further.

 

[IDAFC21]

And I never actually refer to my car as a Holden when I talk about it to people. I tell it like it is. Hell my plate even spells it out for them. No false advertising here!

 

[Lead Pipe]

Just like with Pontiac, who cares?
