The new El Camino!

[Tripper]

Not really but there were rumors a while back! My ex-brother-in-law is Australia right now & took this picture & sent it to me. He said they are everywhere down under & many are customized. GM is stupid for not importing these trucks... IMO. I think they'd sell like crazy... especially with a crankin' LS motor like the new GTO!!!

Ya know, I'm not fond of any new cars, but that one does look pretty good. Some of these retro cars miss the mark IMO (except the new Challengers, I love them[dr) but that El Camino is modern, but traditional too.

And the mustang

But Chrysler/Doge has the retro thing down

Where are they building these El Caminos at?

Not too bad. Looks kinda like a car I saw on the Amazing race on Sunday from Australia.
Have to agree with others, the MOPARS are the best, until Fiat starts doing retro Fiats.

I'm kinda waiting on the comeback of the AMC Pacer myself

Personally I think GM should bring a couple of the designers over here from Australia. I think they did a heck of a job with the Efijy afew years back. It was a concept car that they actually built and drove....here are a few pics

Holden is who did what we sell as the GTO here. I think this retro flashback is gorgeous. GM should find the designers and bring them here.

Now that's a car!!!
and it looks like it might fit me!!!

I was wondering why everything but a cadillac is uncomfortable for me now
and I found out that washington passed a law long time ago requiring interior design to keep your body in one position while operating and for crashes.
I thought everyone just liked the claustrophobic feeling.
Probably not a big problem for most people if your the usual size but just like with cloths I have to shop big and tall for cars...pickups still fit me

I'm only 5'11 and 180# I think the mustang is just made too small lol
But For a shirt I wear 2XLT. 3x too wide and still too short
xl on me is like fat man in a little coat
I'm long in the back like Hobbs from Calvin and Hobbs
Like a 7' tall guy with 5' tall guy legs
I just can't drive one of these cute little things.
Whats really weird is a KIA econobox and the Geo metro fits me real nice and comfortable.
Why can't a sports car fit like that?

I hold my tongue on the mercedes... they fit... Nice
BMW... too small

GM hasn't sold a GTO here since 2006. They only sold 14,000 of them that year compared to 170,000+ mustangs. This is a GTO with a pickup bed. Sorry but I can't see how this would be a big hit.

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin....

There has always been a market for that type of vehicle in Austrailia........Utes have been around there since the 20s-30s
