To me that is more important. It is a ute isn't it? A falcon sedan can carry more in the boot than a H*lden ute, hahahahaha

Holden made the decision to make thier utes for pretty boys years ago. Wannabe tradesman drive them. If my son came home and told me he bought a holden ute I would struggle to come to grips with the fact he is a homosexual.

Wow, the ford V8 has always sounded better than the holden, and after listening to the sound files, it always will.

lol@this thread, surely with a billion dollars they would have spent more on launching the ute... Or did the funds run out after a few recalls?

Will the new SS ute come with a giant "SPY+" sticker on the back window and dirt bike
strapped on the back as standard?
