Haha, thats the funniest thing i have read in ages.

And i still think the falcon utes will be competitive with the new holdens in sales and performance.

My motorcycle has more load capacity than a Holden ute...and what little load capacity they have is taken up by the weight of the additional Chev badges (they seem to be embarressed by the Holden badges or something?)

Still waiting for your fully "cousin" to snap some pics from his "work"...

had my mates remix our old dust busters overlaid with some crappy engine roar...thought i might pass that off for a V8 - guess I got busted.

but my ford did break down on me - i'm intrigued by my cousin who's been feeding me all these talk about holden redesigning their ute blah blah...and he reckons this is their launch site....http://www.evolutionendshere.com

I'm thinking of getting a Jumbuck to replace the Tornado :->

They are actually a good fun little car to be honest, not overly butch for sure, LOL, but they do the job well for what they are and the price they sell them for.

one verb....ZZZzzzzZZZzzzZZZ..
Dont know what the point of drip feeding the Ute is...if they'd done it with the VE Sedan (from recollection they didn't) line up initially, that would have made more sense...Holden marketing are behind the eight ball on this one.
"Go" and "Evolution ends here"....my gosh...come up with some better lines guys!

bwaaahahahaaha -evolution ends here- oh that's good! so this'll be the final commo ute ever? awesome!

no more massive truck mudflaps, no more 300 foot radio aerials, no more sh!b*xes covered in various assorted stickers with everything from 'the beast' to 'bundy b&s ute'. oh what a shame.

The evolution stops when Ford says it does; they are the only ones who can do a ute properly- Not some crook looking POS that cant even carry a toenail. After all, Ford Oz invented the ute!

Some very good spy shots coming up in the September Issue of Wheels. Quad exhausts out the back from factory on the SS utes, looks good.

I saw a new VE ute yesterday on my way down to Canberra. It had bra's on front and rear, but still looked pretty good.
