This joke has legs. Maybe it will still be getting hits by next April 1st?
It has been a recurring April Fools Joke for awhile. This pic was from a previous years edition - looks pretty!

They could have just brought over the commodore UTE all those years ago. We DID get the sedan version int he chevy SS.
It was supposed to come over as a Pontiac, but then Pontiac got the ol' tomahawk.

It its a Chevy it needs to come with a heated tailgate. That way, up here north of the woodchucks, you don't freeze your hands when you have to push them in the winter. :D :rolleyes::cwl::like:

It's a real shame. Loved our pontiacs of the 2000s, and they all still run all with over a quarter million miles on them.

They always could have brought it over as a chevy like they did the SS. Much like the falcon X though, we are cursed to never see them.

So it's a smaller pick up car you can buy in South America.
Parts availability should be a piece of cake....

If parts availability includes a replacement for the turbo 130hp offering. In NA, it needs to go up hills without losing speed. It’s a good looking cartruck though. I personally like the VW Saveiro, but at 99hp, noooo!

The Australians can't even get a Falcon anymore, or a Ford or Holden ute.

It would be fine. It's the GEM platform, the same as the buick encore, which uses a 156hp turbo and doesnt have issues maintaining speed. And the Montana only weighs 2,888 lbs. So it would have a slightly worse HP/ton ratio then the hybrid maverick!

Oh dont get me started on all the cool stuff they dont make anymore........

It may have great specs though, like 0 to 60 sometime later on today...
The MPGs were actually pretty good. I haven't looked at the VW Saveiro, but then it's another don't get that here vehicle I assume.
