Holden grunts up the Maloo

[Taily]

Holden is going to chuck the LSA in the VF ute.

Go you good thing, though you might need shares in Dunlop just to keep rear tyres up to it.....

This will be a very good thing, the quickest factory ute. Yeah.

Would like to see this Maloo take on the Nurburgring

Nice looking ute but way too much coin for me, WOW $85000. My old HQ in getting a motor as we speak, will cost me around $6000 finished, bench seat and v6...(no paint) Happy Days.

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.
