Don’t tell me it was overhyped until you drive it. I wouldn’t say it was overhyped, either. There really was no hype about it. Kind of it’s problem in the states - everybody thought it was a GP. It’s a Holden Monaro, not a Vauxhall (Vauxhall just used the platform in europe, but they did not design it. Probably one of the best GM cars in a long time. It is far better than the challenger in terms of build quality. Retro styling FTL. I’ll take a 4dr G8 GT over a Challenger. I owned a 2004 GTO & wish I still had it, but life gets in the way of hot rods sometimes. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/top-gear-american-muscle-cars/201860)._
