How would El Camino be received?
#16
Sorry but from a design standpoint, the Ute makes me want to vomit. The midsection, I mean the door and that little window behind it.. totally horrible mess of counterintuitive useless dysfunctional lines for a truck. Why not square it off a bit at least? What's up with those "pretty" lines on a truck? WTF were they thinking? I'm surprised that thing sells at all. Looks good as a coupe and sedan but not as a truck. I'd be way claustrophobic in one of those things, dying to get out at every red light. It looks nothing like previous American El Caminos. Looks more like a chopped down soccer mom minivan. I guess Australia really is a different market than the US. It's best they kept it down under and import as many GTO's as possible instead.

Put me down in the buy column. In fact, I am really considering buying an old El Camino. hehe. Esp after watching the movie the mexican!
I want one. Benefits of a truck, without the pain in the *** of a truck. I WANT IT! OVER THE GTO!

What would happen? Hmmmm
All the people whining about the new GTO would have something new to complain about!
Sad when RWD V8 is not good enough
When your dying of thirst in the desert and someone hands you a glass of water.....take it!!!

You can find details here
The Holden Ute, first released in 1951, was designed to take on the Ford Ute directly. Holden paid no particular reference to anything other than the domestic Ford competition. It is myth to claim otherwise.
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Holden did use the US El Camino as inspiration. I read it on the Holden website, and in other web published interviews with Holden designers.</font>

You got that right! No offense to anyone, but I think some people here have a bad attitude because there is no new Camaro right now.

Uh, by the way I think it's pretty foolish to compare a life-or-death situation with what we really want to see out of a car.

I think going from the Trans Am to the GTO is like going from a Hot D cup girl to a Hot C cup girl.

"Just good enough"? No- I think the new GTO
will be much better then that.
Also there is a huge difference between a man and a woman- and the new GTO is no ugly man-
I don't switch teams cause I'm not getting any.
Oh and Z28wilson- I was using a METAPHOR- in comparing dying of thirst in the desert.
I wasn't being literal- just trying to illustrate a point- some people got it.
