[kainaussie]

i bet u the yanks take off the pontiac logo thing

[450hp202turbo]

why would thay do that ? it pisses them off that we australians can build a better cheaper sedans wagons and utes with rear wheel drive,, lol.. thay hate that ! so funny i think!

[Davobeff]

This is what every bloke should drive.

[centrefire00]

You yanks aint got no clue..

that's Holden VE ute... Their all owned by general motors, their pretty much the fucking same.

Who cares what you idiots think you look like, the VE Maloo R8 is the world's fastest Ute/Pick up truck. It's been proven.

[VITIXER]

You guys in the States obviously haven't heard that Pontiac is building the G8 in 2010!

[gpgab97]

I already have an order for the g8 later this year, and i "live in the states". Where did 2010 come from? And that ugly ass car/truck thing wouldn't sell for crap over here-but if you did buy one you would be kind of like a toyota prius owner or some stuff. No one really wants to be in one and you look quite gay driving it too. Besides we already have the chevy ssr....yuck! Keep it in austalia, but thanks for the monaro design.

I predict not importing these to the states as a Chevy El Camino will hurt sales.

[dirtrocker101]

The Holden Ute is probably the best selling ute in Australia. it is designed to be a car/truck because we here in Australia are polite unlike u yankees who frigin take up the hole road with ur stoopd F-250's!!

[jlm6180]

In the US the Chevy El Camino was pretty much a "ute", made 1959-60 and 1964-1987. Sadly, sales of mini trucks brought their demise.

[jlm6180]

The Chevy El Camino and Ford Ranchero were sold here for years, so the idea of a "ute" type vehicle for the American market isnt new. Sadly mini trucks killed them off in the 80s.

[Mechknight73]

@jlm6180 Strangely, Australia has the same Japanese utes on the streets that you would see anywhere in America; the chief difference would be that Holden and Ford Australia created them as dual use vehicles. Most of the early utes had panelvan versions as well; a ute with a fullsized roof over the whole cabin and tray. Australia invented the concept, so we're loathe to kill them off. To see what Ford has competing against it, look up "FG Series Falcon ute"

[Person1579]

Don't really like the sports car/pickup combination. Looks a bit silly. Sports cars should look like sports cars and pickups should look like pickups!

[thee0n3]

But u see thats not the point of this Holden VE ute (Pontiac sportstruck).

The point of this ute/sportstruck is that it can be a workhorse/pickup and when the weekend (or freetime) comes u can hit the track do some sweet drifts, max the speedo as u floor it down the front straight, and then some time LATER come out with some BOLD TIRES and a huge SMILE on your face.

in Australia some ppl clasify this as an unofficial sports car, as some ppl buy it because its a 2 seater with a BIG BOOT.

[Jmunger]

Meh, not a fan of the rear.

Tail lights look somewhat falcon like..

[NickHey]

I. Want. One.

[vx360ss]

looks bloody wiked!!!

[jimmie1985]

just cant wait for the maloo, mmm fastest hsv yet :)

[thomasmoret2s]

car/truck it looks silly!

[drivitlikeyoustoleit]

i recon it is sexy on wheels

[wxnut]

i wants the precious....

[Gwads74]

Holden already have that record as the fastest ute!

Still recon the VE ute looks Horrid. VZ is better IMO.

[TNTU07]

true vz ute looks better but the vz maloo looked like crap so this on has a chance for good looks in the maloo

[fstdvr]

OMG AWSOME, cant wait till hsv gets there hands on it, 'next worlds fastest ute!' onto this ute AWSOME! lol thats all u can say bout this bon to be wonderful hay hauler as longs as its black and a ssv!

[lachh]

No mate, green with the black track stripes, maybe with hard tonneau or roll bars!
