The US gets a ute.

[Poodles]

Ute's don't go over big here because of the EPA regulations.

If it's classified as a car, the EPA is a bastard on required fuel ecconomy and emissions. Classifly it as a truck though, and they aren't as hard on em.

Why do you think SUV's sell like mad here?

I don't care for the "ute" version, but the new G8 is fucking sweet.

This is the G8 that Europe gets...

I'm well aware of that.

Do the utes in Australia have a proper pick-up style bed or is carpeted?

I wish Ford would get their shit together and bring over the Falcon.

And the El Camino stuff has been hearsay that was deemed approved with the new rwd G8 platform, which has been off and on since the G8 got the ok.

 

[Kai]

We dont get a G8, we get a Vauxhall VXR8

Most have plastic liners these days we actually use them for work and not posing

The new Monaro is growing on me.

Pretty sure they're all metal/plastic beds

The red sedan looks like an evo sorta, and the orange one looks like an evo had sex with a gto...

 

[smokey]

if the holdens boys kept the design and such i think you yanky doodles would really like them... the Us modification doesn't reaally do it any justice...

 

[IJ.]

I'm surprised it didn't sprout Caddy finsNshit

 

[Ric]

The guys at pontiac didn't get the hint after they totally destroyed the Monaro?

I mean, fake hood scoops and plastic honeycomb grills are the American dream.

Good to hear. I was worried that it would be the next SSR which was useless.

Lincoln Blackwood had it beat in uselessness with its fake suade bed, although to be fair the blackwood was actually a truck.
