For those who want everything.

i reckon that rear end looks abit odd. id rather buy something like this

**piledriver** · 08-26-2003, 04:56 AM

This is a bit different for us in brazil, despite having some pick ups derived from "normal" cars like VW Gol...

**fpv_gtho** · 08-26-2003, 04:58 AM

these two cars are both derived from large sedans made locally. the only duel cab utes available previously have only been jap imports

I cant see much difference. Apparently there will be a soft 4x4 version too. SS has lighter load capacity with FE2 sports suspension, S and standard are one tonners.

yeah they still want to make something like what the cross8 was dont they? its no surprise the ss isnt built for work

What is being copied in particular.

**fpv_gtho** · 08-28-2003, 01:00 AM

i think hes hinting at ford showed the r5 concept a couple of years back and now holden has a production ready version of their commodore ute

**crisis** · 08-28-2003, 01:02 AM

Ford and Holden are not the only two companies that produce utes, 4 wheel drive or otherwise. Likewise crew cabs.

**fpv_gtho** · 08-28-2003, 01:05 AM

yeah, but theyre the only ones to my memory that make half mocoque, half seperate chassis utes. ford and holden are also the only ones to my memory to show the initiative in making a production or concept duel cab ute based on a large car. subaru make their baja, but thats medium sized

**crisis** · 08-28-2003, 01:08 AM

I still dont see his problem.

**fpv_gtho** · 08-28-2003, 01:13 AM

most ford or holden fans dont when it comes to the classic "theyre copying each other" statement

**crisis** · 08-28-2003, 01:17 AM

Thats because its an idiotic statement. Car companies follow fashions. Australian and Asian companies like to look European for some reason. US cars are a breed of their own. In most cases thats lucky for the rest of the world.

**fpv_gtho** · 08-28-2003, 01:19 AM

yeah american cars are in an ugly trend at the moment i think. just have a look at the pontiac vibe/toyota matrix
