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:

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.

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.

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

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.

Style wise it rocks. If I was single I might buy one if it gets as good highway mileage as a sedan and can hold a sheet of plywood.
