The Holden Piazza is one of Australia’s more intriguing 1980s performance coupes, sold locally from 1986 after being developed from the Isuzu Piazza, also known overseas as the Impulse. Styled by famed Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, it brought sharp wedge shaped lines, pop up headlights and a futuristic cabin to Holden showrooms at a time when most local coupes were far more conventional. Under the bonnet, Australian delivered models used a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder engine, giving the Piazza lively performance and a distinctive character that still appeals to enthusiasts chasing something different.

Although it never became a big seller, the Holden Piazza has earned cult status thanks to its rarity, rear wheel drive layout and unusual mix of Japanese engineering, Italian styling and Australian badging. Early reviews praised its strong turbo punch, while also noting that its suspension tuning was not perfectly suited to local roads, making well maintained bushes, dampers, brakes and tyres especially important today. That makes the Piazza a rewarding classic for owners who value careful upkeep and sympathetic upgrades.
