Denny Mooney, chairman of GM’s Australian subsidiary Holden, is adamant that the 2007 VE Commodore SS and SS V sedans should come to the United States as the next Pontiac Grand Prix. Mooney made comments about the idea in July, and has again reiterated them in the latest issue of GoAuto e-news. “So the reality is that if this car went over there it would do well, he said. “A rear-wheel drive, performance sedan at an affordable price? It doesn’t exist in the US.” He admitted the closest product currently on the market is the Chrysler 300 C or the Dodge Charger . Mooney says that unlike the failed Pontiac GTO — which was targeting a niche segment with certain expectations — the sedan market is both larger and easier to target. He said demand for such a sedan is “20 times bigger than the coupe market.”
