It reminds me too much of an el camino but the styling is pretty cool.

Looks pretty agressive from the front. Also kind of reminds me of a maxima )02ish).

Carry on…

Also, anyone guess what make it is?

this one should look a little more familiar given the similarities of the front grill to our G8. Also has the same 6L V8

Is Vauxhaul Under Holden in some way? The Monardo as a Vauxhaul was in NFS MW, only difference from it and the GTO you could start with were the stock rims…
