My guess is both the manual and auto will be hit with the GG tax. And since it will be such a small volume, its not going to be worth it to use the L99.

I think the 2 door is known as a Holden Monaro. Not sure if its going to be continued for this generation though. You knew it as the newer Pontiac GTO

Closest thing you can get in North America today would be a Chevrolet Camaro. And there is no way GM would import an ever so slightly larger coupe based on that car, with similar (if not the same) power trains, along side the Camaro.

The next gen CTS is supposed to be roughly that size, and is supposed to have a TTV6 available with similar hp/tq output (though perhaps a bit lower) to the LS3 & L99
