Oh, but it did. Just not in the American market, you'd have to travel to Australia to get one. It was the Holden SS Ute: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Ute

Never thought I'd see an IFS/IRS Jeep concept I actually don't hate on first sight.

Body styling isn't really my type, but ground clearance looks great and it appears that it would be pretty drat good in a high speed desert environment if the suspension was tuned properly.

40 mile lithium ion plus a DIESEL aux engine? :aaaaa:

IN AN AMERICAN BRANDED AUTO? :aaaaa:

No one wake me up, don't tell me it's just a concept vehicle, I'm just fine right where I am.

Seriously, some form of a new El Camino/ute probably would've been my next vehicle. I don't need ground clearance, prefer driving cars, and 1,000lbs haul would be enough for motorcycles and scooters.

So, we're getting closer to the end of '08.

Remember how I said the first SMART cars showed up in 2008? Yep, there's one here. Or... some of it. How smart are these cars? Let's find out.



I'm not sure what this Mada was, but it was freaking gorgeous. I don't think I really caught the LED strips they had in the front.



For some reason, though, this specific perspective below reminds me of a cat. Can't imagine why.



But let's get to something American.



You don't get more American than that.



Stately!

Gee, that old LaSalle ran great. And looked good too.





I think that's a Monza GT in the corner there, but the other shots didn't come out.

And how could I resist this Studebaker?




Now, here's something for the Europhiles. The Type 718 , I believe... and a modern interpretation. Right, the RS60. Old and New.


I love the grille here.


Sorry about the fuzzy nature of some of these, the light was... intimate. I did try to match perspectives on some shots.





And I think that's basically it for 2008. Oh, wait. No. How do you guys feel about turning left for 500 miles?

For lack of trying or for lack of a lift to the track? You are missing out. I can recommend the VSCDA event in September if you are looking for something relatively inexpensive. If you need a hotel many of the sleepy towns just a few minutes away from the track have nice motels and hotels. Portage being one.

There's also a great bar in Plymouth that makes one hell of an Old Fashioned.

This... is pretty loving bad rear end. I love the modern twist on an old classic. Even the dash looks almost like it belongs in there. Though the center console kinda blows.

Edit: http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/3227201056.html

This is a drat good price for a relatively clean wagon. It would be easy to throw something decent under the hood, a little bit of body work and a nice paint job, it would be a drat fine boulevard cruiser.
