I want the new one that they're saying is coming... Unfortunately it's not coming to the States... Supposed to have the 5.0 under the hood now though...

Yeah I want one too. :drool:

In a few of the shots you see what looks like a small pickup. It is a Maloo and it has the same LS3 motor they put in the Camaro and Vette with a few mods. Here are a few picks from this years Hot Rod Power Tour. They shipped in three of them just for it.

 

I was at the Bowling Green stop of the Power Tour, did these cars go the whole way? I never did see them. I like 'em.

Personally, I don't think those P/U trucks would go over here. I for one wouldn't own one, because I can't put my family in it. Most Americans (right or wrong) buy at least an extended cab truck so they can haul their children.

 

I LOVE the look of them though.

 

My biggest contention with the Commodore based cars is their front suspension. It leaves A LOT to be desired.

I wouldn't own one myself, as you said only seats 2. They are quite lively to drive, very light in the rear.

They are mostly owned by young males or older males who have a family car as well.

I believe they re-calibrated the suspension for the American market ie made it softer.

It's the design of the front I don't like. Piss poor upper strut mounts and weak ball joints lead to premature wear and failure.

 

I have all Pedders under mine now with some BMR sway bars and trailing arms mixed in for more fun. It surprises A LOT of people now.
