I don't understand all the car talk in the article but wanted to post this for the car enthusiasts out there. I don't know much about cars except for the basics of my own.

However, I do remember when I was young my dad's friend had a brown El Camino. The car was cool but the color wasn't.

They're so cool 'cause you can do stuff like this with them:

well, maybe if you click on it... I have no idea why it won't post.

I’ve been lovin’ on that Holden for several years now.

I’m just miffed they’re callin’ it a Pontiac. That’s one of the ways the Big 3 lose market share, they take our memories, our culture, that we would have passed down, and bastardize like this.

"Boy, do you smell something?"

EGAD!!!

Don’t tell Bill Clinton!

With the price of fuel on the rise as it is,
if they’d make a smaller and much lighter,
stripped down 3/4 sized version, with
an efficient 4 cylinder engine, then I’d
like to have one.

Looks like a Subaru Brat.

An astro turf special.

or even a 3 liter V6 would do quite nicely

"..When I was a younger man and had a life," stated Clinton, "I owned an El Camino pickup in the '70s. It was a real sort of Southern deal. I had Astroturf in the back. You don't want to know why, but I did..."

The Chevy Avalanche has essentially been the same concept for 5 or 6 years now.

The El Camino Is Back!

And ugly as ever!

Yes, it might even be better.

[BlueDragon]

Nice!

“f they’d make a smaller and much lighter,

Then it would be totally useless!

I think we’ll see it in production but it will be powered by a modern, clean-burning circa 3.5-liter V-6 turbodiesel engine rated at around 245 bhp but with a torque peak like that of the 6.1-liter V-8 gasoline engine now proposed for the car. It will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

My husband's '66 Hell Camino! We call it the BEAST. you can hear it a mile away and feel the earth shake when it rolls up the driveway.
