I would love to have that. Had a 1979 El Camino back in 79-80. Great vehicle. GM needs to bring this one stateside and bring back the El Camino.

looks like a g8/bmw truck, i love it

that is one sick truck. wish GM would bring it here!

Great now i hate Australia. Because they have a modern El Camino and we dont. :ripped:

I've always wanted a Holden Ute, and the Maloo R8 is just my type of pickup.

that is not a true maloo
it is a GXP UTE it has no side skirts no sail plain no hard lid oem tail gate and brembo brakes
it is the one that was made for the US market but never got there they are selling them ofF over HERE now to get rid of them at ssv prices $50k AUD and is very good BY compared to a true maloo round 15K more

I love Maloos :drool:

Get on Facebook and ask Mark Reuss about GM and the possibility of a "New" El Camino........last time I did that his "pistivity" level went up quite a bit, LOL. I suggested that instead of doing the CTS-V stationwagon why not bring back the G8 Sport truck that never happened, it didn't go over real well. I actually had the funding set aside to purchase the G8 truck!

So GM had these built for the U.S. market then decided not to even bring any over?

That is the Maloo, but for about $25K less you can get the SS version, spend a few $$$$ and it can look like this


And still be cheaper than a Maloo

That looks sick! A friend of mine has those same wheels on his G8.

That's definitely a bad ass ride!

There aren't very many vehicles I like but that thing is flippin' sweet!!:hump:

Anyone see top gear UK season 16? Maloo vs van
pretty interesting

yer is not a maloo its just a 6lt ss holden ute
same as G8
clarkson needs to brush up on his ozy cars

I would rip out my own eye teeth with a rusty pair of plyers to get one of those. :nod:

I wonder what's involved in importing one of these...

I believe the Holden vehicles aren't approved for our roads, so you would have to change a lot of parts for it to be street legal here. Plus it'll cost many thousands of dollars for the freight charge to ship it here.
