Title: Better MPG
Post by: Eyeball on September 02, 2005 6:54 am

I was looking through pics I took in Mexico. I had forgot about this thing. The only badging I could find on it was "Chevy" on the tail gate and a bowtie on the grill. I would buy one of these little sob's in a heartbeat. I wonder if you can get em in the states? MicroCamino.

I'd rather look at gettin a Holden Ute if I was going that route. Much better looking IMHO.

The GTO is just a rebadged Holden with a minor grill change.

Eyeball, fond one of those Subaru things, not the new ones, but the early 80's ones.

a friend had one in high school, we beat the piss outa that thing and it kept on ticking, just like a timex.

Subaru is owned by GM anyhow =)  i cant remember what they were called though, had a funny name.

This is an 05 model, but it does have some body similarities...could be the older body style of it.
