Obviously I say ute, because I have one and have had several utes/pickups, although this is only my second Holden ute. My brother had a HJ GTS mockup back in the eatly 80's, And I loved the Sandman utes in the 70's, just took me until 2 years ago to get myself one. Having said that, I like the vans too, but if two good examples were put in front of me, I think I'd go ute every time.
That's just me, I'm a ute bloke.
