i love lots of new cars, that one is pretty cool. Makes me think of a fast mini-truck sort of thing.

With a 6-oh and a 6 speed, that would be one bad to the bone little hauler, could even forgive it for being quite homely.
Now check out the real Holden masterpiece in the second link.

I can't believe there's a thread titled "ute". Only the Aussies usually know what they are lol.

That Holden concept might possibly be the best looking concept car that I've ever seen. Too bad that it was never actually intended for production though. I've been lusting after that car for a while.

Yeah, I've had it for my desktop off and on for over a year since I first discovered it. It comes in second only to Cadzilla for that style of car.

They are the same blokes that built a clandestine 2 door Commodore which was discovered in a corner under a sheet during a visit by Bob Lutz.....that car went into production to become YOUR Pontiac GTO

As for the utes, there's plenty of 18 year old apprentice plumbers wrapping them around traffic poles on a pretty regular basis
They've been making utes in Australia since 1937
