Interesting car

Post by Stuart M. Cohen »

So whilst on my trip so Oceania, I saw this model car multiple times in Australia and New Zealand. This one is a Ford, but saw a similar kind of Skoda driving around. Kinda like a modern El Camino.

That type of pickup is called a “Ute” in Australia and a “Baki” in South Africa. That one’s pretty cool looking.

Hacks like this when done right are “flower cars” when used in the funeral industry or modified pick-ups. I call them ugly. :D. Especially this one.

GM was planning to bring a version of this car to the U.S. as the Pontiac G8 ST but the Pontiac brand ended up being discontinued.
