I have never been attracted to the new "Growl" look on cars. For that reason A looks a bit less likely to cut in front of me or tail gate me in traffic. A My choice

These examples do have different power plants, ignore that,
as far as I know they are available with the same engine
drivetrain options.


Probably B, not much difference. Had an insurance company that charged more money for anything with a scoop on the hood, no matter how big the motor. I was lucky I had a '70 charger big block, no scoop in the hood. You might check.

At this point it looks conclusive, or at least
conclusive relative to the demographic represented
by those on a US based Photographic website such as UHH.

B. 6

A. 13

It seems Holden mis cued with their market research.

How much money did they spend/waste on tooling up
to manufacture the "B" front end... when they could have shipped
the car to the US with the original A (Australian market) pieces?

What were they thinking?

Twice as many of us prefer the Australian front, so they would
probably sell more A fronted cars too... that is if the demographic of Photography
enthusiasts reflects the taste of the general American car buying public. I see little
reason why that is not so. Could age be a factor?

Maybe GM USA said the "Pontiac" had to have a different front to the
Holden and the error is GM USA and not GMHolden?

B as far as front end is concerned.
But to own I would prefer A.

I say the dress is blue.

Seriously, B. It would be easier to wash the bugs off after a road trip.

Yep, and when the sheets are short the bed always seems longer.
