Also the Russian UAZ. In the late 90s there was an attempt to import these to the US, but they never made it. They were only going to cost around $10,000 when a base model 2wd Toyota Tacoma was starting at $15,000.

That was to be part of Pontiac's lineup had they not got the axe. :( Along with a wagon, new GTO, and possibly a new Firebird. But GM wanted the money so Pontiac had to go...........so sad what might have been.

Rumor has it we might still get the Ute. Supposedly, the plant where they're building the Camaro/CTS is also setup to produce a North American version of the Ute, along with the SS/Caprice.

They could always use Caddy sheet metal on the front and use the new CTS platform for power, if they can sell a Cadillac wagon, why not a pickup?

They could have called this a Palomino

Here's another vote for a Ute/El Camino

I'll start off with this:

2015_SKODA_SUPERB_Combi_OUTDOOR_front_pi

Isn't that just an aesthetically-pleasing design? It's got a lot of character without being too flashy.

What other cars do you wish were in the USA?

Can't go wrong with anything Skoda. They're part of the VW Audi group. We're getting an octavia RS wagon this month.

There is a TVR dealer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and he brings in whatever people want but the demand doesn't seem very high.

Hmmm, I wonder if I'm allowed to buy it there and bring it over to the states?

Man what a car! I loved the reviews on it.

Another beauty;
