Konan, is it me or does that look exactly like a Monaro but with the blue oval on the front?

Two more doors and around as a concept a lot longer than the Monaro.

I was over in Oz when the Monaro was launched (4 years ago now?). Holden's rival to the falcon was the 'Commodore', sold as 'the great australian car' in the adverts. Funny, I thought it was an Omega

Both the Nissan Skyline and the Mitsubishi FTO were sold in the UK at some point, officially.

Oh well! I thought I knew a lot about cars! I stand corrected.

The skyline. but i suppose the fact that they are not sold here is also part of what makes them so likable.

How many skylines do you get to see every day? I see more Ferraris than i do Skylines.

[CocoPops]

Yep, the Skyline R34 was sold officially here

[Rave]

As was the R33, in very limited numbers. I remember Clarkson testing one on Top Gear.

Personally, I think it's a shame that the Daihatsu Rugger Field Sports Resin Top never made it here.

More here (swear warning):

About 5, all the same ones, all blatantly gts that have slowly sprouted more and more tat, including fake GTR badges on at least two. Number of ferraris i see? One gorgeous black 550 and a 360 modena that someone has managed to get a big scratch up the side of

[dave87]

360 modena and 575 near me
