No not a Vette, but could it be the new El Camino? I know it's just a Holden Ute. Same platform as the Chevy SS.



Me and my spys will be watching for the first C7.

I really like that Holden. They should bring it to the US.

Btw, I use to live in Milford and Commerce Twp. A very beautiful area indeed.

I can almost see (imagine) a tinted acrylic/polycarbonate aftermarket bed cap that resembles a C6 hatch with a built-in spoiler.

They were going to - as a Pontaic G8 Sport Truck. Obviously, that plan didn't work out. Lately they've been talking about resurrecting the plan and resurrecting the El Camino name.

Hopefully it's out at the proving grounds for some official company reason...

What was the front bumper like? Pontiac or Chevy? I've said it before, and now that they've said they're going to call it an SS sedan, I STILL say it. Its gonna be a Chevelle or Nova. Heck they could use bel air but I doubt it. A Chevelle sedan and el camino ute? Sounds reasonable to me.

And before I have to hear the endless CHEVELLES ARE TWO DOORS!, their were 4 door ones at one point. Nov only that but the charger was never a two door, and they have 0 problems selling them(srt8 and Daytonas look way better then old ones anyway ZING!).

I think you mean that the charger was never a 4-door!

There have been rumors floating around that, because of the high import costs newly associated with the Holden Ute, Chevrolet will offer a Ute version of the upcoming SS. I can see it happening and think it would sell nicely as a niche car.
