  1. Damn, who would have known?
  2. I am the Oracle of Delphi, I see many things in GM's Past and Present, but my true gift is being able to see things in GM's future, way in its future in fact, it's almost as if I think it, and GM changes to match my thoughts! Nice meeting you BTW!

  4. I have a feeling you went Zoom, and you love life will go Boom! Congrats, I guess, you'll look good tooling around in Mommy-Blogger style ...
  5. Just for that, I've decided to have it cancelled again ...
  6. OMFG, I go through all this work to bring it back, and as a Chevy El Camino too, and now you want a special color besides?
  7. Read this very, very carefully - "GM Alpha Platform: All Things To All Enthusiasts?" Link: http://bit.ly/dNNjlC
  8. If it's decided to go on Alpha, then 2015, however I would prefer to see it go on an updated Zeta platform first and then migrate to the Alpha platform later. If it goes updated Zeta I would say 2013. As you know Camino, I usually get my way. BTW, who is this PCS you keep referring to?
  9. One year after GM killed the latest reincarnation of the El Camino — the Pontiac G8 ST — we've learned that the "Ute" still may live. And if it does, it'll be a Chevy. When writing up our story on rumors out of Australia that Chevy would potentially get a rear wheel drive Zeta-platformed sedan, we hinted at our desire to have them also bring over a version of the loved-by-many Holden Commodore Ute — or even the Chevrolet Lumina SS Ute (pictured above) from South Africa. It looks like GM might have been listening. We've now learned from three sources that the General's product planners are noodling the idea of bringing the "Ute" to the United States. The vehicle would absolutely be a Chevy and would more than likely carry the "El Camino" name. We're also hearing it will only happen as part of a larger strategy of ensuring sales are high enough across multiple vehicles and brands to ensure success of GM's next-generation RWD platform. Whether this platform will be the much-anticipated Alpha platform expected to underpin the next-generation Camaro, CTS and ATS, or a new version of the Zeta platform remains to be seen. A source outside of GM but with strong knowledge of GM's future product plans told us they'd expect to see the "Ute" return — if it's fully greenlit — as a 2015 model year vehicle, released in the 2014 calendar year.

  10. Now you know, I never kiss and tell.
  11. I remember you! Happy Birthday!
  12. Holden’s VE Series II SS Ute has been named Best Ute in the 2010 Drive Car of the Year Awards, for the fourth consecutive year. Following a rigorous six-day testing regime, the reigning champion was deemed best in class for its car-like handling, competitive pricing and “well-behaved car manners”. The ute was judged by a panel of experts from Drive.com.au, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age on a broad criteria including performance, price, quality, comfort, practicality and safety. Drive Editor and Car of the Year judge Toby Hagon said the SS Ute stood out for its driveability, smooth acceleration and low-speed running. “The overall design of the Ute demonstrates an understanding of the target market, making this a great vehicle, both for the demands of the working week and recreational needs for the weekend,” Hagon said. “And, quite simply, this is a fun car to drive.” As part of the Series II refresh, the SS Ute now has flex-fuel capability, allowing it to run on Bio-ethanol, E10, Unleaded, Premium, or any combination of these fuels. It is also equipped with Holden i-Q, an all-new infotainment system that delivers full Bluetooth®, USB and iPod integration for compatible devices. Holden Marketing Director Philip Brook said: “The SS Ute is a vehicle of which Holden is very proud and we’re honoured it has been recognised in the 2010 Drive Car of the Year Awards.” “To win for the fourth year in a row demonstrates that we’re delivering in terms of value, style and performance,” Mr Brook said. The SS Ute is powered by Holden's 6.0 litre Gen IV V8, delivering 270kW of peak power and 530Nm of peak torque for the six speed manual transmission and 260kW of peak power and 517Nm of torque for the six speed automatic transmission with Active Select. Completing the SS Ute package are 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels, sports body kit with fog lamps, sports seats and quad exhausts, side impact airbags, curtain airbags and Electronic Stability Control.
