they build a basic omega,SV6,berlina,SS,SSV,and calais as well as small and medium 4cyl and a 4WD what else do you want ? I have an SS torana and it is a nice car to look at but it is terrible to drive.

Something worth buying. A good start would be to look at the biggest seller, the Hilux. And build something as good as it. Then build a ute tradesmen will want: make it a leaf spring cab chassis with optional well back. Then a Camry sized rear wheel drive as a Hybrid, big 4 or small 6 plus a Gen2. Call it a Torana. And sell the Camaro.

I must admit we have a VE calais and it is a big bulky car but we also have a VZ SV6 and it is a great car and feels much lighter to drive too. We tow a 1850 kilo boat and go away a lot so we needed a rear wheel drive and a decent boot as well as towing capacity . GMH need to go back and look at previous sales figures, the VR/VS was a big seller and so was the VT and i think it was because they were a good sized car.
