"Holden's GTS coupe may be first of several of GM Australian vehicles on way to U.S.
Holden's GTS coupe may not be the only Aussie runner that General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz is eyeing for U.S. import. Word is that in addition to the 402-hp coupe, GM's product guru also likes the Maloo sport/ute (think Chevy El Camino) for these shores.
Lutz reportedly wants GM to bring up to 20,000 Holden Monaro coupes per year to the United States, if the car can be economically adapted to meet federal crash regulations. Another obstacle: We're told a U.S. version would require reworking all the plastics for cold weather durability—not typically a problem Down Under where plastics must stand up to heat, but not cold. Redoing the plastics for U.S. vehicles could take up to two years, sources say. "
