Monaro: The End of an Era
Category: Australian Media News
THE Holden Monaro is to cease production following a massive reshuffle of the popular Commodore series, according to news.com.au.
Holden’s Adelaide plant, which until now produced the Monaros, is now making way for a new VE model to begin production in mid-2006.
Although it’s a big loss for fans, Holden says the timing was right to stop making the car, as sales have slowly started to drop.
Spokesman Jason Laird said since the Monaro is still the biggest selling sports car in the country, it deserves to go out on top.
"It was a question of us choosing the timing,” he said. “Champions retire on top."
Although still in the works, Holden says they are reviewing possible plans for a replacement.
