after seeing the T/A , i can see how the f-body and monaro would appeal to 2 different type of customers, and at the same time sort of overlap each other, meaning it might apeal to a bit of both, the monaro does seem above it though, in terms of overall class, it just seemed a bit boy racer type of look, but cheaply done.

Because they are focused at 2 different markets. Even the Camaro and GTO were never in quite the same market.

it was one of those days, a bit later down the road i notice this massive monstrosity, and thought what is this land barge?, to my surprise i noticed the lions badge sitting on it, as i aproached it i saw the writing "suburban", i had to squint as to not take it in all at once... i felt my stomach go queezy and quickly left the scene very uncomfortable with what i had just seen...

what powers those things anyway?

could it be that when we see something we are not used to it brings up negative signals,

i dunno.

I suppose lets give it some time, and let nature take its course.

see if it ends up being f-body peeps that don't like its styling or america as a whole.

We don't think of a great interior, or how many people it can seat, but we wonder where the fake hood scoops are!?

Well thats a musclecar thing or a part of the image if you know what I mean. I don't see why they can't be functional though, its been done before.

Like I said in another post..........If they brought the Ute to the U.S. and priced it around maybe under 25 grand it would sell. Those ****in car/truck/rice killas are bad ***. Their LS1's pump out more power than the '02 Camaro SS. Think about that lol
