I don't think it looks bad, but I wouldn't bet on a similar design seeing production. I think the whole retro muscle car styling thing has run its course in the market.
Also...heck yes on the El Camino, no matter what I just said up above. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I'd rip every sleeve off all my shirts, grow out that luxurious mullet, slap a Molly Hatchet sticker on the bumper, and I'd live my best life like a champion.

I think the ford maverick/Hyundai Sante fe is the new el Camino. My wife drives a Santa Fe. When that car first came out, I told her I liked it because it reminded me of an El Camino.

That's kind of a crazy idea. I love it!

That's kind of a crazy idea. I love it! the mileage would be off the charts, f150 gets about 20 avg. performance would also be awesome with a 10 speed or even a 6.

Holden of Australia made a Ute that should have made its way to the US but never did. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/06/full-4123-186715-img_1539.jpeg)

Holden of Australia made a Ute that should have made its way to the US but never did. A decade or so ago the Aussie V8 Supercar Series ran its only race in the US. I don't remember how many Holdens I saw in the parking lot, but it was several. I have no idea where they all came from, because I have never before, or since, seen one on the road over here.

If you saw a late model GTO or Chevy SS, you saw a rebadged Holden Menaro or Ute.

Some of the cars I saw I was pretty sure were sold here as a GTO and then rebadged as a Holden, but I'm not entirely sure.
