Return of the Chevy El Camino?
Rumors from down under over the last 12 months is that the Holden (Australian subsidiary of GM) Ute (Utility Vehicle) will be introduced to the US market (as they did with the Pontiac GTO and G8) as the new Chevy El Camino. GM's financial recovery and the foreign exchange rate between Australia dollar and US dollar have been the big gap too far. Latest buzz from Australian publications is that 2014 model year will mark the introduction (after the Ute gets a makeover). You can cut and paste this link into your browser to get an idea of things to come. Enjoy! |

There is much more demand for a truck car in australia, they made the gto down there for years before it came here and was a flop. And the gto gad more potential than the el camino. I seriously doubt we will ever see it

I think it would be so rad if they actually brought these out in mass under the chevy name plate here.

this looks pretty cool but it would definitely need a big make over for it to hit the US markets

If they had brought over the Pontiac version like they were planning before Pontiac went belly-up, I would have bought one of those over a Camaro without question. I don't think I'd trade my Camaro for one though..
Who knows...Maybe I would

Nice loved the 'Camino's back in the day. Very practical for hauling some small items.
