Do you Yanks have an equivalent class of vehicles to Aussie Utes?

[Foxor]

guys there trucks?! whats the point of having a 5litre in a truck?!? why would you want to go fast in a truck!??! THERE TRUCKS!?!? (vans, ute's,whatever) basicly there shxt id rather have a 2litre turbo sierra cosworth 4x4 (or rwd) (had to get a decent british car in there since u keep dissing our lovly truck that carrys things and doesnt go fast) 0-60 in 5 seconds with a 5litre lump?! 0-60 in 4.8 seconds with a 2litre lump?! what makes more sense? then theres COST of petrol but you guys dont pay shxt for you petrol (gasoline, whatever)

only my view but i think there a waste of time/money/effort

basicly there shxt

 

[Foxor]

sorry one more rant, those engines are piss poor aswell 8.3 litre and only 500bhp??? im not sure of the bhp for the aussie UTE's but i bet there low bhp for the engine size, japs can squeze over 400bhp out of a 2litre turbo engine (the new Mitsubishi Evo) there poor money wasting engines, whats the MPG/L of them 0-10?? lmao

nice stuff huh?

No, not really. They look like vehicles that some redneck would like and thinks he would look cool in. I wouldn't be surprised if it's popular in Australia.

The 'Aussie' public has brains and the 'yanks' don't? That's pretty sad because then the American public sure seems to accomplish a hell of a lot more than the Australian people, even without the use of a brain.

this has continued to this day, it one of the reasons ford has been so successful in Australia..it is only American by name only, it doesn't even deal with the US management in Dearborn USA, and to begin with it wasn't a US based company it started as a canadian subsiduary during the early 1930's.
Australian fords only shared US product line for the first 5 years of the falcon, which almost killed it, after 1965 when the Aussie government steped in a true Australian falcon was born and we have only shared the V8 engine(although we did have our own locally cast Cleveland V8 from 1969 to 1982 which was vastly superior to the US variant and was the prefered engine for ford NASCAR engine builders during the clevelands life span)
the fact is you have no idea what you are talking about...m*therfucker

I'd like to see some links on that if you have any.

Damn those Americans and their subsidiaries that make ugly redneck mobiles in Australia!

I can't say that I'm surprised that some sh!tty redneck looking car is popular in Australia. I would be ashamed to put up these disgusting pictures and then act as if they're supposed to be nice.

I think I'd rather be seen driving a pink Mazda Miata than one of these redneck-mobiles.

These vehicles look like they belong in a trailer park.

I just asked for an honest opinion from my wife on the HSV and her first response was, "It's ugly." There you have it folks. At least one American woman's opinion.

Then I showed her the '83 Plymouth Scamp and she agreed that it looks similar.

Edit-I did not in any way influence her opinion. I just asked her to look at this and tell me what she thought. Her words exactly.

It's a Ford subsidiary. You can't expect a stupid Australian to actually own a real company. They're descended from convicts and kangaroos!

All the stupid Australians want to do is hunt kangaroos and koalas while driving around in their redneck mobile. They're not good for anything else.

I think you have to be trailer trash like the Australians (convicts) to appreciate something like the redneck mobile that these convicts seem to love.

we actually dominate in redneck mobiles too. our designers are the ones who cook up thier trucks (who the heck invented the fagg word ute anyway?)

and only 3 of the links work for me, one times out because of THE SLOWNESS.

 

[RabidMongoose]

Ute sounds like a pretty redneck word. Seems pretty fitting for a convict's (Australian's) redneck-mobile.

I can't believe that we are duping these convicts into actually buying these hideous contraptions.

I bet that we could sell them cyanide laced chewing tobacco and these idiots would buy it.

 

[Zebo]

Hey you aussies still running concentration camps up north for all those political refuges? I know you stopped race based immigration (read: white only allowed) in late 1978. But what's really changed? Do they build your cars?

No you were right the first time, convicts.
