But it depends,were you come from
I think the brits (where the car is from) pronounce it "Vaux-all"  (the h is almost gone but you can hint it) at least thats how Jeremy Clarkson pronounce it, and he is (as far as i care) the greatest brit ever,, him or the Stig   TOP GEAR ftw ^^

Pontiac came up with the design as a predecessor for their nice old muscle car, the GTO..

afaik, Pontiac = General Motors                   GM = Vauxhall & Holden

Therefore, instead of shipping GTO's all over the world where there are no dealerships or repairshops for these cars, they are made by the company's local department....

comprende ?

Most recently, the current Monaro has been exported to overseas markets. It is sold, in left hand drive, in the Middle East as the Chevrolet Lumina Coupe, and in the United States as the Pontiac GTO, reviving another classic muscle car icon. However its poor US sales have lead to it being described as a 'flop' by at least one commentator [1]. It was withdrawn from the US market in 2006, although a few were still on dealer's lots in 2007.

Holden made/designed it and exported it to the US and the UK via Pontiac and Vauxhaul.

I'm aware of the old GTO, there's an old Monaro as well, but you're talking current tense...

tbh the new commodores look pretty ugly with the big wheel flare things, although the senator looks good and 1 or 2 models
