It's cool to me, but I am biased a little.

 

[FerrariF1GT]

I have to say that utes, at least the Austrailian ones, are pretty cool because of their obscurity where I live. I admit that Forza Horizon 3 drove my interest in those types of vehicles, though.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Like the idea, but I dunno...something about Holdens of the early 2000's really don't look appealing.

Might be that sneering facade.

 

[05XR8]

The egghead canopy always throws me off, but a V8 ute is always cool.

 

[UltimateYosh]

I see too many V6 Commodores with HSV bodykits to make HSVs cool.

Meh.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Utes are cool especially V8 utes, they have the ability to be used as a light work truck and the characteristics of a car, or in this case sports car

 

[Turbo]

Would've been cooler if they brought it to America and called it the El Camino.

 

[xyloscissor]

I'm not diggin the rims on the red one but gave it a cool. I wonder why we don't get anything like that here, they used to sell.

 

[TexRex]

Ugly vehicle with a stupid name.

Ugly vehicle with a stupid name.

But maloo means thunder.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Aussie utes are cool, especially V8 Aussie utes.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Cool name, cool look, cool.

 

[Liquid]

Pickups are never cool. I don't care if the cargo bay is integrated or not.

 

[Lilium]

cool specs for a aussie pick up, i hate the early 2k holdens. the face just doens'ty cut it for me, so its a Meh

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Seeing one not getting traction in the rainy day at the lights makes it cool, drove one and it's SZ.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Way too many standard ones with the Maloo front treatment for it to be Cool.

 

[Adamgp]

Not sure what to think of this.

Meh.

 

[Wiegert]

Significantly more interesting than a dropside van, but equally uncool.

 

[TheCracker]

I prefer my two seaters to be sportier and a touch less red of neck. SU.

 

[TB]

I like the front half and the back half separately but not as a complete package.

Meh.

 

[Tornado]

It's Spanish for "The Camino"

 

[Legro]

Sweden had a similar looking vehicle class called 'A-Traktors'. Car based vehicles with the rear passenger space replaced with open utility space and speed limited to 30 km/h, mainly used by 16-18-year-old people before they could get proper driving license.

They're almost as uncool as this as well.

How is that possible, have you no respect for say a '65 ranchero? Shame on you

 

[Suzumiya]

Utes. Utes are cool.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Uncool...it looks goofy

 

[SPhilli911]

Tis a silly car/truck and I find it to be cool, but don't ask me to explain why because I don't really know why.

 

[Liquid]

I didn't say that they are without merit or terrible. They're just not cool.

Also, 1st gen Ranchero is best looking Ranchero.

There has to be an early year hudson you can manage a low cool out of. '37? I like the '46 myself

 

[MisterWaffles]

This is a dying breed unfortunately, because cars like this are pretty cool.
