How about the Aussie Holden Ute?

This is the top of the line with a 6 liter (364 cid), 362hp pushrod V8. It can be ordered with a 6-speed manual trans (presumably a T-56) or a 6-speed auto with Active Select (sequential shifter, also known as Tiptronic...I remember that from VWs back in the late 60s)...and a gorgeous orange color called Wildfire Metallic. (sigh.) 

The "lower level" Utes get a DOHC V6 with the same transmissions.

Then there's the Omega model (DOHC V6 with 4-speed auto) that can be ordered as a "Dual-Fuel" package that runs "petrol" or LPG.

Why don't we get stuff like that here?  (bitch, moan, whine.)

Thought you might like to see this... not sure if you have seen one of these but they were everywhere in mexico, I am pretty sure (cant remember what makers for sure ) nissan and Renault had similar (nearly identical) versions of this. 

Ford had 4 door rangers

Chevy had several very small cars there-

Not the GTO version for sure, its more of the size of an Aveo
