Holden is poised to ship its first batch of Pontiac GTO-badged LS1-powered Coupes to the U.S., but has several more models in the pipeline. Next up would be the replacement for the Chevrolet El Camino, based on Holden's in-house V-8-powered Utility. Holden CEO Peter Hanenberger says it would be next to go should the U.S. "Chicken Tax," which loads a 25-percent duty on imported utes, be waived under a new BTA.

Seems "someone" here was right on the money. How cool would this be?

Cool. So there is a chance that we may get the Ute.

Hmmm...this relates indirectly. But Suzuki recently admitted it overestimated the market for a pickup-car crossover. The Baja production was just cut 60%!! From something like 25,000 to 16,000.

Personally, I'd rather see that Avalanch!
