the Holden ute should show you, Babymoo. But these are all new, the real holden ute is clapped out, full of rust, a dog tied up the back, lots of stickers from pubs on the back window and a man, holding a can of beer, wearing a cowboy hat and an hungover expression.

Thanks Copago! The new, shiny ones are kinda cute!

So basically the "real" ones look like what we Americans would call a "redneck" truck - rusted out with Bondo everywhere, dog in the back, etc.

Holden Utes are a General Motors product

a real Ute is a Ford Falcon Ute, like this one: I come from the land downunder

And so starts the great Australian Holden/Ford debate!

I'll end the debate right here by asking Santa for one of each!
