I was checking out some new stuff from GM (which by the way was completely boring) when I stumbled on our cousins down under called Holden. Yes the same people that brought you the ugliest GTO ever still makes the El Camino (sort of)...check it out!

It's called a "ute"

It even comes in an SS model and special utility version called:

The one-tonner

Awe, the ugliest GTO ever has to be the 73 or 74.

I like the current car, just wish it was made in the U.S.A..

"ugliest GTO ever" = '74 hands down

The 74 GTO looks like a 73-74 Nova. Why does pontiac copy so much?

Not only dot they still make the El Camino but they also (sorry) make the Ford Falcon Ute (Ranchero) there. I guess the Australians love that body style.

Yeah, I'll admit, the 73-74 GTO went to the ugly side, but the new ones are pretty bad too...I think it's funny how the difference between the Chevy/Holden ute's and the Ford's are only the emblems are different! haha

The new GTO is no uglier when compared to other 2005 cars than any previous GTO was compared to the other cars of that year. IMHO, They are better looking than 90% of new cars, which is about where any of them from 64-74 ranked in appearance as well.

Watch out those 2 companies hate each other,if they heard what you said they'd probably sic the dingoes on ya.Those new GTO'S may not be the best looking car out there but they drive REAL good.A friend of mine owns a 6 speed 05 and insisted I take a test drive.:thumbsup:
