I think that Gm should just start importing the entire holden lineup.. and do away with buick and GMC completely... probably do them alot of good... stuf like that above, would sell, I'm sure it would.

Gm not selling chevrolet... maybe with the trucks.. but I can't see that name go away 100%. My thought as to stop rebadging trucks and selling them as differnet models.. maybe come up with a GMC trim level or something.. and call it a day.

Regardless.. Holden has some cool stuff.. too bad they aren't available here.

I would have to see it in person but from the pictures it dosent look to good but i would love if they changed the bodywork and made it into an Elcamino for the states. And as for getting rid of buick and GMC, buick maybe but GMC no. At least not to change it into holden.

i think GM tried this as the SSR, and failed miserably. if they bring in an 'el camino', i cant see it being much different than the SSR, except for maybe the looks.
