MonaroCommodore

MonaroCommodore is not an official Holden product. It is a colloquial term used within Australian automotive culture to describe a vehicle arrangement or concept that blends elements of Holden's Monaro coupe with the Commodore sedan platform.

Origin and usage: The term has appeared in car forums and online communities since the late 1990s and 2000s, typically in discussions about design feasibility or hypothetical projects rather than formal plans. It may refer to hypothetical crossovers, aftermarket projects, or concept studies that juxtapose the Monaro’s styling with Commodore underpinnings, or to discussions of potential future models that never reached production. There is no official specification, production record, or designation tied to the name.

Design implications: Because the term denotes a category rather than a single vehicle, descriptions vary. Some discussions imagine a Monaro-inspired two-door silhouette built on a Commodore chassis, while others consider concept studies by Holden or HSV that would have combined cues from both nameplates. The lack of formal endorsement means there is no standardized design, engine option, or dimensional specification associated with MonaroCommodore.

Legacy and reception: MonaroCommodore reflects the interest in cross-compatibility between Holden’s performance and mainstream models, as well as the broader culture of speculative automotive design. It serves as a label in online discourse rather than a reference to an actual production vehicle.
