Irrelevant.
They can't build enough of them for that to matter.
It's just one excuse after another ever since 1987.
What, you're gonna buy 50,000 of them yourself?
Quite frankly, if GM were to do a modern El Camino, it should have a backseat and midgate. Elkies always had a bit of a flying buttress look to them, so this could maintain the general look but without the compromise. You know, make it a vehicle someone might have some options with. Bachelors who work in landscaping or construction just aren't this huge untapped market.
You miss the point. GM couldn't build 50,000 of them no matter the demand - they have capacity for about 10% of that at best.
As for your Camino recipe, that wouldn't be an El Camino at all.
I do agree that it would be nice to have the flying buttress (and longer coupe-style doors) but a backseat is out of the question.
No, this should come here just as it is. The small numbers that they could build make it even more desireable in my book.
WHY would anyone need longer coupe-style doors?? If there's no backseat, why opt for unnecessarily long doors that do nothing except hinder ingress/egress in parking lots?? Makes no sense.
