That is a badass little Nova! All business. I like it!

Oh yeah, and where are they now, Mr. Getacheck? Whoops, now I remember, they're all rusted back to earth.

*blush* ...go ahead and take it down, darn it.

I'd go with a Charger SXT, there is no other domestic RWD affordable car with more than 2 seats.

That's not a very good picture, siegen. Duh, someone is blocking the view of your Escort wagon with... an Acura?

I'm all for being green around the house, but when I get out on the road, I don't want to give up one ounce of power, comfort, capacity or attractive looks in my vehicle.

K.C., that's brilliant. What guy wouldn't want a Holden Magroin of their very own? Only a select few would ask for their buddy's Holden Magroin for the weekend. I like GMC Syclone because the original left the market on a high note, so the name is still respected. "Syclone" evokes power and adventure, something the Ute will provide plenty of. A new name would also suffice, something geographical, as has been GMC's practice over the last couple of decades.

So, what GM will do is import this as a GMC to test the market. If it sells well enough, it will more likely lead to a GMNA designed Chevrolet El Camino. Isn't that what I said, in a nutshell? It honestly sounds like a good plan. If the vehicle bombs, better to bomb as the lesser-known GMC sedan pickup than the premier sedan pickup... El Camino. Just buy one! You may secure the future of the real El Camino!

"On" par? I thought it was "Mopar".

I got you a present, but you probably already have a fart can.

What a heck of a mess.

The Chevrolet El Camino was always a pickup version of a Chevrolet sedan. What Chevrolet sedan will an Aussie-built "Chevy El Camino" be based on? It's a fish out of water as a Chevrolet, wearing this sheetmetal. GMC Syclone, all the way, baby.

The Pontiac Solstice is an exquisite little car... just a beauty. I'd love for it to influence future Pontiacs.

Whoa... that wagon is too hot to handle. If we've gotta have the G8 sedan, then this would be an excellent addition to that lineup.

I like to think of the Ute as a professional grade, sporty multipurpose vehicle, sort of like the original Syclone (which was a short-run, special production vehicle as well). GM has said no more trucks for Pontiac, why dilute that message now? Badging it a GMC when it will be necessarily low volume due to Holden's capacity is not a bad thing, imo. Yes sirs, I was adamant about NOT wanting the Chinese Park Avenue sold here alongside the G8, but they are both sedans... G8 and Ute are two different bodystyles... this could work as a GMC... let's face it... anything imported from Australia will necessarily be low volume. We will have to wait for US Zeta production to ramp up before we happily see each division get all the versions we want except Opel/Saturn. Can't we think of it as testing the waters with a GMC-badged, imported version of the Ute before GMNA commits to an Impala-based Chevrolet El Camino? To those who bought, and loved, their GTOs... did you really care that it was actually a Holden in thin disguise? This thing will most likely be temporary until GMNA Zeta production comes online anyway. This is a snazzy vehicle, but as an import, I see a limited production run for US versions. Better to have GMC sell this thing for a couple of years until a REAL, US-designed Chevrolet El Camino can be built.

I agree with reg, that is one hell of a chop, Nos!

A regular cab, long bed Work Truck with cloth or vinyl interior, 4.3L V6, automatic, air and locking differential would make a fine, long lasting workhorse of a truck. You really cannot go wrong. Go for it while the 1500 Classics are still around to choose your colors.
