So just speculation then! seriously these journos would give politicians a run for their money for being able to manipulate words.
First paragraph
Holden has confirmed it will sell a V8-powered sports car in Australia as Commodore production winds down in 2017.
Speaking at the 2015 Detroit motor show, the vice-president of General Motors’ Asian-based Consolidated International Operations, Stefan Jacoby, confirmed a high-performance model would step in once the V8-powered Commodores were discontinued in 2017.
that to me sounds pretty definite, but next paragraph, when asked if it would contain a v8 the answer was "most likely yes" that is a pretty fair answer to the questioned posed, but how does the interviewer get a definite yes from that? and they are only surmising that it will be a Camaro as the corvette is "too difficult" to convert.
:doh:
Be nice but I'll believe it when I see it...
2 door cars don't do that well here..
The Cadillac CTS-V would be awesome! Wishful thinking though.
Maybe it will be the mid engined Corvette Zora currently doing laps of the GM proving ground disguised as a Holden SS-V Ute... Fits the bill, V8, sports car. Sadly I can't really imagine it being the Zora over a Camaro.

and then we can put Chev badges on it! :stick:
I think it's coming.
Why?....because when it was engineered in Aus, it was also engineered for RHD,...GM can't possibly let Mustang have all the RHD sales, so,...I say it's coming.

Put me down for a Z/28 please!!!
Would be awesome if they do bring the Camaro! Would be sweet to have the Mustang and Camaro battle it out over here! Plus then we've got better handling V8 platforms to start from for the aftermarket mod scene. Exciting times!
What Pickles said.
so say The Age -
Confirmed: Holden's next Monaro
