Holden Ute comes to US as ElCamino!

Is there a demand for that car here in the states? I don't see it selling well. GMO

Am I the only one who thinks the Holden Ute is hideous? That roofline does not work with a bed. The bottom half isn't much better.

I saw a black one driving around Scottsdale last weekend, maybe it's here for Barrett Jackson. It was going too fast for me to get a good look at it.

The Ute is already here. I took a photo of this one 4 years ago at the Good Guys show in Pleasanton, Ca

There's probably more of a market than most people think. Especially considering the next-gen GM midsize trucks aren't going to be very "midsize" at all.

That and they don't look like trucks, they look like minivans with beds and they are ugly to boot. I love GM and I like the current gen Colorado's and Canyons as they look like trucks. But the next gen Colorado/Canyon looks very un-truck like and more CUV or Minivan like IMO.

This is a nomad, I would like to see. Say with an Ls based motor. I just think this is a cool looking car.

if they brought it here they'd probably price it at 40K and it wouldn't sell.

I would buy one in a heart beat. Only thing IMO that could be fixed is the doors could be longer. They look to short for a coupe
