Damn, I am angry just looking at those pics.
I cannot fathom as to why anyone would do that? How does it possibly bring them enjoyment?

If I came back to my car and it was like that, I don't know how I would react.
But it sure as hell wouldn't be pretty.

Didnt get a photo, but saw a very dark gunmetal grey BA (dressed up as a GT/ or maybe a real GT) but it had PINK GT stripes, driven by young guy with the "cori" sunglasses and cap....

At least it IS a chevrolet though.

I'd prefer to see them offering GMC badges for freebies though rather than the bow tie.

Isuzu assisted in the design, it's not just a re badged d-max.

edit: actually, we probably get the Middle East model. Which IS rebadged d-max.

Yeah we get the asia model. Built by Isuzu, not the American one.

Give me a Ranger 4x4 over the d-max any day

Even Holden dealers are ashamed to be selling Holdens these days.

Not brand bashing, I would love a nice HSV in my driveway.
