Nice to see GM allowing HSV to continue pushing some engineering radicalism. I hope they keep this up. Still of course, at 85k you're not really buying a ute, you're pretty much buying a two seater supercar which includes a ute tray, (its a pretty awesome piece of machinery to have though... for 85k you get a Porsche eater.... and um... it probably challenges the best of Jaguar, and Merc as well) - for the price, its a supercar. Actually (I'll do a 'Clarkson') 'if this ute, were a car....it would be a car that you could put things in the back of'.... Its a supercar regardless of price, and it just adds further evidence against any of the recent popularist claims in the press that making cars in Australia is un-viable. (sigh).
On a lighter note, I cant imagine too many would wanna be moving washing machines, lawnmowers, or concrete mixers (etc) around in the back of these, and I totally hope people dont! ...or then again, maybe that would make one or two cheaper in 15 years second hand - lol.
