    Default The Ute Coming to America??

    Just saw this over on Jalopnik. If 100,000 people comment saying they want the Ute in the US, A GM executive will give it the green light.

    I know of two people that would jump on this. But will it be a true Ute or something else?

    I saw this the other day as well. It would need to be a LS3 with a M6 for me to think about it.I also would like to see what Chevy would do with the look. I would bet that it will not look as good as the Holden version

    Agreed... I'd probably convert it back into a Pontiac!

    I had thought of the same thing, lol! I only have a little over 4 years of payments left on the GXP, so I can be patient. By then my girlfriend will likely be my wife though, and she HATES El Caminos. She refers to them as the "mullet of cars." I haven't been able to convince her that they are a cool party car, because you have a bed with you whereever you go, LOL!
