Default Look at this: A GTO truck!!

I went to the California speedway last Sunday for a VW car show and drag race (The Bug-In), and I spotted this GTO truck in the lot. It was a clean job, but the car wasn't that great to begin with.

Any ideas? What does the Autralian's versions emblem look like?

Enjoy:

i just looked at the website...it looks like a "Holden Ute". Their sport utility truck. In the pics, it had Holden badging on the gate, but GTO everywhere else. And GTO wheels.

they are bringing that to the states. looks like someone imported a ute, put a GTO front clip on it and made it left hand drive. The G8 truck as it is named for now is the new one. check out pontiac.com

If you hate this then you hate the El Camino, which is shame on you, especially if you consider yourself a fan of GM.

I remember when they were thinking of bringing back the El Camino, and it had a 93 style camaro front end on it. THat's kind of what this thing is.

I think cuz it's got an LS1. And this is LS1 tech? Just my guess. haha

But yeah, I think that is the Holden Ute....(Holden is GM's Australian branch). Its like a new El Camino. I don't see it being a huge seller here in the States. Hopefully GM can pull something outta its bag to revive itself.
