    AWD LS1 ute

    Neat ute but I think the price is a bit steep.

    The RIMS are miles too wide and for my liking ruin the whole look of the car.

    The Bumpers, Body-kit and Flares paint doesn't even match the rest of the car... Tacky / Bodgy... Seriously and he's asking $85K!!!...

    No exhausts in the cutouts, What The...

    The ricer stretched tyre effect is a Complete Fail!!!... on this car, with such larger gaps between the tyres and the flares, why even bother...

    You'd have to be on acid to pay any were near $85K for it, regardless on how much has been spent.

    The proportions are all wrong.

    As Pauline would say "why"
    Why do some peeps think a motor vehicle is a sound investment?

    I can think of many other cars which IMHO would be a better "investment" for the $85,000 asking price.

    Everyone shhhh, we don't want the secret on building one of these to get out.... lol

    Secret is, 1 of 2WD commodore, add 1 of AWD commodore, add a massive dose of IJ and voila your AWD commodore.

    Re: AWD LS1 ute

    Just had a look on Red Book for a rough guide, a "Real" Coupe 4 is going for around $30K to $40K...

    What does that tell you!!!...

    I know which I'd rather have, and with $50K spare change in my back pocket...
