Want to get a heads-up on the new Pontiac pick-'em-up (2008 New York Auto Show Preview: You-name-it Pontiac sport truck )? Well PickupTrucks.com has a comparison test of two Aussie Utes, the Holden VE SS and the Ford Falcon FG XR8.
As you know the new Pontiac Ute, er, pickup is based on the Holden Ute, so what you read here will likely also apply in large measure to the upcoming Pontiac This-is-NOT -an-El-Camino.

I entered that contest with the name "UpSport".
This would be a small niche, but should not cost much to build given the vehicle already exists.

"I can't imagine this thing selling."
I agree. However I think it has a better chance of selling as a Chevy El Camino with the retro treatment. I don't know how much room for styling work there is with the Holden Ute platform though.
