Want the El Camino to come back?

[Justin Bimmer]

Jalopnik says 100,000 people needed to get El Camino back

Now if only I knew how to comment on their damn site!

[G. David Felt]

The El Camino is a nice concept, while I love the concept, not sure enough people would without a proper marketing campaign.

[Croc]

Wow, someone's trying to generate traffic today...

[Camino LS6]

Done.

[Camino LS6]

Hopefully, I did it right. That site sure tries to hide any way to comment - I eventually clicked on the little "return" icon by one of the earlier posts in order to leave a comment.

And yeah, I'm expecting all of C&G to do the same!

[Justin Bimmer]

I voted yes.

[Camino LS6]

[FAPTurbo]

Voted: 'Gimme Gimme Gimme!'

[hyperv6]

If I did it right I put my plea in.

[Camino LS6]

Thanks guys!

I went over to elcaminocentral.com and posted about how to comment on jalopnik there too. ECC has thousands of members, so that should get things moving.

[Camino LS6]

*self-serving bump*

[Z-06]

And Done.

Been there & done that for my own selfish reasons

Come on Orical!

"....GM will bring back the El Camino if 100,000 people say they want it."

People on the internet saying "you should bring back the EC" is hardly the same as people saying they want one. GM needs sales, not people saying "that'd be neat". I wish it all the best, but can't help but feel a huge load of skepticism.

[Camino LS6]

Hell, anything's worth a shot.

I get the feeling that this may be farther along and this is just to stimulate interest. Also I really don't expect to sell them more than 10K-15K units anyway in the NA unless demand warrants. But with Holdens sales aready that is a number of units that could be done here and I would expect still show a profit if the exchange rate is right.

I really don't think GM would base bringing a car in just on replys to one web site. Lets face it the car is already good to come here already and if they update it with the sedan it will for sure be set for our market if they want it. Based on the comments it looks like the plan for the sedan is set and just needs the new car to move forward.

I know as in the past something always could get changed at the last min but I expect this car with the help of Mark Reuss The Zeta Father will be here in the near future.

Lets face it they would not be going public with this unless they had some real plans or considerations here.

Unless GM goes under again or some crazy unforseen world conflict I think you may just get your original wish for a El Camino. It may not be a high volume or a long run but I see this one happening this time.

Just call it a hunch!

"Just call it a hunch!"

NO WAY JOSE, if they bring it back they need to keep the El Camino name, DUH.

Voted YES also, I see that it is over 3100 positive votes for a New El Camino!

Camino did you get the Matchbox Holden Ute yet? It looked good even in the bright green.

While the kid was shopping video games I slipped over and found one in the car section. It is the only one I have seen so I bought it.

[Potluck]

commented, but I much rather have that International in the other thread

[SAmadei]

So whats the count at now? 3100 was a far cry from 100K.

[Camino LS6]

Don't know.

They haven't updated it lately.
