Devil Solid Yellow. 
Built from Sept 2002-August 2004. 
Not only was the Monaro name reintroduced, but a 2 door coupe as well, the first 2 door Holden since the HX in 1976. Based on the VT/VX Commodore, but with 84 new body panels. The windscreen was raked back by two degrees and roofline lowered by 40mm. The whole B-pillar section was moved rearwards to match new doors that were extended by 150mm. Rear overhang was cut by 100mm and an integrated spoiler in the bootlid.
The Monaro was called the V2 as it did not follow the mainstream Commodore facelifts, the only facelift, the 2004 VZ.
The V2 was available with 171kw supercharged CV6 or 225kw 5.7 litre CV8 (CV6 17in alloys, CV8 18in)
In 2003 the CV6 was discontinued and the limited edition CV8-R introduced (special wheels and unique colours)
HSV did their version too, with more power, better suspension, body kit etc. Available was the 255kw GTO and the 300kw GTS.
