That's an odd pickup...

Hello. While looking through a children's book that shows a few pictures of a few different cars, I came accross this one. Does anyone know who makes it? I think it looks kind of neat.

[jncodave]

It's a Holden (GM's Australian company) the model is and S-series

[Lafarga]

Thanks alot. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what it was.

[jncodave]

yeah, I think its a pretty cool truck

[-Davo]

yes, that's the Holden Ute, I don't think it's an S pack, looks like a SS.

yeah, the one i saw said it was an s-series, but ive never seen one in person so im not very familliar with the truck, i think they should bring it to the U.S. though

if you think that looks good, you should check out the engine, the SS series are a 5.7 V8.

The Holden HSV Avalanche is a fucking BEAST. It's HUGE. Not a truck, not as big as a Ford f-250, it's a ute, but like an airoplane ute, ya know, it's awesome, I was sitting in one today

Click on the bottom right pic "Avalanche XUV", that's the shit, and opposite, the Maloo, all fucking awesome HSV Holdens.

Damn those things are nice.

[TRDboi]

[-Davo]

there are too many of them on the road though. In a day, I'd see a good 30 utes.

[Electronix_etc]

what part of the world do u see 30 of these in a day dude??? i've neva seen one in mah whole life, and i've been to india, pakistaan, japan, honkong, london, canada, USA, and i have neva seen one!!!

[bob stone]

I would hazard to guess that he sees them in... wait for it....
"australia"
you know being a Holden and all and I belive they are made there ?? just a guess.

btw the way it is a sweet ride like to see thoes in the US

[RickwithaTbird]
