Actually, the Holden UTE looks better......and would make a better El Camino. Someone a while back put the front end off of a Camaro on one and it looked BAS A$$!

That guy should be lit on fire! That Ute looks horrible. Should have kept the Manaro front end on it. I feel insulted.

being a avid fan of the ElCamino I'd agree this is the best modern day rendition out there.

A pickup that could carry beer, deer, hunting, camping or fishing stuff and if you drove it reasonably get 20++ miles per gallon. Yea its not gonna do any serious off roading but neither are allot of regular 2wd pickups either. Plus, bring on an Ecoboost!

I wouldn't want one, but I think they should bring it to the North American market. It would need to be restyled of course but I think its up for a redesign anyways. Could be interesting

*edit*
and kill that El Camaro with fire

Huh... I like the el camaro combo-car and can't tell you how many times I've actually said "el camaro" referring to my Camaro. I have had 2 el caminos and I loved them! If they brought the el camino back, and the new style appealed to me, I'd consider trading in the Camaro.

But those Holdens are slower than a Transit (interesting bit after 3:40-ish)
