Re: Chevy brings back the El-Camino?
Pointless post is pointless.
It's amusing to me that people write off a whole line of vehicles based on a name or a single vehicle from the lineup. I owned a Cobalt. Hated it. It was a piece of shit that was falling apart at 60k miles. Doesn't mean the brand as a whole is shit.
Also, I love the Ute.

I somewhat agree. But when you come out with a new car and it rates worse than your own car you're replacing with it, you're doing something wrong. The trucks keep getting uglier and uglier and the cars are about the same. Minus the vette, I think that's the only one that the looks are improving.

The UTE sells really well in australia. As does almost every Holden car. Problem is that when they did the G8 it didn't even come with the top interior that holdens come with. Not sure why GM does this and would probably be the same thing if they did bring it over here. But the cars do look good for what it is.
And they are talking about the top of the line holdens getting the LSA. THis one already is available with it.

Re: Chevy brings back the El-Camino?
Thing is though - it actually works out really well. GM's trucks get mid-20 MPG's at best? They're also a PITA to drive/park/etc in a city setting. However, for someone like me who is always backing their cars full of junk/hobbies/crap to work on rental properties, it would be fantastic. Don't do much of any towing but do have to haul a lot of crap a lot of times. Give it a DI LT1 or even a fuel thrifty V6, you're in the mid 30's for MPG, can throw a greasy used motor in the back of it w/o ruining the interior. I love it. If they do it right, I'd gladly trade in the Cruze for it.
