Supposedely a "go" for late 2009. 400 hp 6.2 liter, uh, only lists a six speed automatic...

Before I decide if I like it, I'd need to see it in person, but the photos of the back-side with the exhaust looks baad-ass. Not sold on the busyness of the front end. Side looks like the Holden Ute.

Also additional links to video and other photos:

It is the Holden Ute being re-badged for sale in the US. Same as the GTP was a re-badged Holden Monero

The new G8 will also be a re-badged Holden Comador.

There were some sweet ute's when I was in Australia, fast ones too. The Fords have an available turbo 6 that takes to mods like the GN's do, there's some crazy shit over there. I think it'll be cool to see some ute's in the states. :)

i think it looks like ass. cool points if it was a chevy and renamed el camino might make it a little cooler- but imo--- just another piece of shit from GM

Looks like a GTO-mino, but it's not bad if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

"Looks like: GM is serious about pleasing its mulleted buyers" :jester:

looks like a cross between a pontiac solstice and one of those subaru truck-car things. powerplant sounds nice though. i bet it'd be fun to drive. :drive:
