Thats pretty much what I said.
Basically, it goes like this:1. Australians decide to bring back the old Holden Monaro from the 1960's and 1970's. In the same way as the old Monaro was a souped up version of the Holden Kingswood (the forerunner to the Commodore), the new one had to be a souped up version of the then-current model Holden Commodore
2. Holden releases the Monaro, with much success
3. The Americans think, "Wow, what a good idea, we should do that", and get Holden to come up with a Monaro that has the steering wheel on the wrong side, and a bodykit similar to that of the old Pontiac GTO's
4. The Pontiac GTO is released in the US, and they sell a few, but not that many
5. Holden discontinues the Monaro, and therefore also the GTO, and releases the VE Commodore series
6. Pontiac decides to import the Commodore SS and sell it as a G8, the replacement for the Pontiac GTO
fin.
