To me that is more important. It is a ute isn't it? A falcon sedan can carry more in the boot than a H*lden ute, hahahahaha

Holden made the decision to make thier utes for pretty boys years ago. Wannabe tradesman drive them. If my son came home and told me he bought a holden ute I would struggle to come to grips with the fact he is a homosexual.

no competition? hasnt the ford ute been outselling the holden ute the majority of times? i think it was only when holden introduced the one tonner did the holden outsell the ford, but they stopped producing that and fords now back up the top... can anyone confirm this?

Haha, thats the funniest thing i have read in ages.

And i still think the falcon utes will be competitive with the new holdens in sales and performance.

Wow, the ford V8 has always sounded better than the holden, and after listening to the sound files, it always will.
