Why ute's? whats the appeal?

[Vaelen]

I am trying to understand the appeal of ute's...

Ok so background story, I am a South African (prepares himself for some serious mocking ) and the first thing i did when i got in to Brisbane was unpack my bags and go get an SV6 series 2.
Love the car - lack of seatbelt adjusters aside - the car is awesome.

But i have a sedan and i am really honestly trying to figure out why ute's are so popular...

Holden Commodore :rockon:

Because utes are awsome, look hot dumped and dont have to be a taxi for ya mates either

lolz @ the taxi for ya mates... I can agree on that...

So it's mainly the looks and slightly higher power to weight ratio than anything else?

Agreed with WogBoyz, plus you can fit heaps of stuff in the tray

I think the main reason there's so many Holden utes is they look good, go hard and are comfortable.

If the only reason you needed a ute was the need to cart gear .... you'd probably go Japanese.

Yeah although i dont remember the last time i used my tray hahah i just love the look of utes

So have there ever been any HSV utes?

And gotta say, Holden utes look 100% better than the Ford utes...!

Maloo. Theyve never done a tonner but they considered it and drew up some plans at one point(could have just been an enthusiast though). Looked awesome. They definitely should.

Cant do this with a sedan

also good place to roll out the swag when camping or at parties.

@JacksHSV - yeah, forgot about that one... Epic car that one. They still making em?

@Jonesy40... lol, thats's the first ute i have seen with something in the back other than a hard-cover...
