This ad for the Holden Ute gives the American audience the transformation of the GM’s Australian Ute. For those not-in-the-know, it’s interesting because this is virtually the same model that will be brought stateside as the Pontiac G8 ST.
The Pontiac-badged Ute will see a debut at this year’s New York Auto Show. Word is a V-8 model will run around $31,000, while the V-6 should be well under the $30,000 mark.
