Camino LS6

Toyota had better come up with a fix that works - in a hurry. Structural failures are no minor issue.

If you read through the thread, you will find that Toyota's own off-road team has discovered the cracking on their own vehicles. These are promotional units, not off-road racing vehicles, and they are lightly off-roaded by paid drivers who were shocked to find the problem. Toyota is involved in researching the problem at this point and has already commited to repairing at least one of the affected FJs. So yeah, there's a real problem. All you have to do is read a bit more of the thread.

Unreal.

You had me going, I was getting ready to grab a pitchfork and a torch!

Used GTO.

It will go to B-P-G. So the choices are Pontiac and GMC. Unless GM sees the light very, very, soon.

I believe you are correct.

Setting the branding issue aside, there is no way to get all of those trim levels and variants out of Holden. In fact, nothing but the two-door is confirmed as going into production (at this time). Likely, what will come here initially will only be the high-end version of the two-door. If it succeeds, more variants from GMNA are possible in a few years. I like much of what you propose to a certain degree, but I think you need to choose the best 1 or 2 variants for GMC as I doubt that, even in a perfect world, they will ever get more than that. The 2-door performance version is the one that needs a home right now, where do you think it would be best placed? GMC? I think not.

Yeah, I like it too.

That's Dodgefan's chop from the recent design comp. Torrent

Just because:

That sums up my worries,68. But that is exactly what GM is going to do.

Having essentially lived in trucks like this since 1985, I would make two suggestions. Get the locking diff if you can find it. Don't get the vinyl seat - the cab of a regular cab pickup gets VERY hot in short order, and vinyl sucks when that happens.

Very cool! Tell him I said hello. Oh, and I think I know what he will tell you when you ask. :AH-HA_wink:

I'll make that decision once I get all of the details and see the execution. Also, you assume that it will be a GMC which may not be the case. I still see it as a bad decision to not make it an El Camino from the start.

The one thing of value in this thread is Balthazar's new sig quote! I absolutely love it!

On a Holden?!

Well hyper, we have agreed on so much in the past that I guess it was about time we didn't. :AH-HA_wink: Oh, and my second choice is Pontiac. But since you are in the GMC camp, have you read the suggestions above?

Well, the last 48 hrs. or so have certainly worn me out.

CUte

Happy birthday to our most reasonable import fan.

Nor that pompous ass Ed Begley.

That suggestion requires another thread. Plus we can come-up with something more creative than that, can't we?

I'll post if I come across something that fits the bill.

Welcome to the club.
