That first link shows the graeatest bit of dvd footage ever!!!
I made a dvd of it about 12 months ago and it is a prerequisite of every guest that enters my house that they have to sit down and watch it.
The Ausse music in the background makes the clip!

Yes, the Monaro episode aired in December 2003 and the comparo was sometime late 2005.

Welcome to several years ago.

have a look where the Monaro ended up on the hot lap. 1:30 right up there with an STI . http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/powerlaps.shtml

Its a great review, and I think they also gave it car of the year in its category in a later episode of that series.

Still its a shame nobody in the UK ever bought it. They sold them as the CV8 and a sporty 'VXR' version under the vauxhall banner, which wasn't ideal. Vauxhall is known in the UK for making boring sedans and hatchbacks, and the price made it prohibitive so I think they have stopped importing them now.

Still, one of the best Ozzy cars ever IMHO!
