I've seen a new one on the 15 here several times.

We're pretty close to Mexico though...

Still...I can't seem to find a Pizza joint that will take my pesos!

Guess I'll have to move to Denver...

But, Strangely, I like it...
You're thinking of the Holden Ute, which is basically a Monaro/GTO with a pickup bed (aka El Camino).

Your'e missing my post.

I'm close to the border - but no stores will take my pesos.

If I moved to Denver - at least the Pizza Patron would take them!

See this thread: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/lounge-10/pizza-company-receives-death-threats-6318/

I guess we would then become "Mile High HHR's"

This may be off topic a little, but aren't most/all cars made for Mexico lacking many of the safety and emissions features required here in the States?

That's partly true. However, since the Tornado is used in other countries and not just in Mexico, it would probably have the better emissions and safety standards the other nations use (i.e. Brazil), should it make it here to the U.S. Also, it's based on a model which already meets European standards, the Opel Corsa, and the Euro standards tend to be a little higher.
