Kinda looks like a mini Escalade EXT right there. Are the Baja bars (if that's what they're called) standard? How do you put a tonneau cover on the bed?

Those roll bars on the back, are a factory/dealer option. In recent years they have become quite popular.

Can we at least get those engine choices brought over here? Some small changes could do the 'Rado wonders.

Especially in the former Xtreme trim level.

i agree, the holden seems old--older, but it is time for an upgrade

I prefer my US version, but I do love the hood and scoop on the Holden.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats it, I give up on GM....sort of.
till I get my Camaro, then I give up.

I was just reading an article on NZCARINFO which said Holden NZ was not bringing in the 3.6 V6 thus keeping the range 3.0 TD only. Not a bad plan really, given fuel is $2.13 p/litre for 91 RON...

Robert Ryan · 07-03-2008, 06:06 AM

Then Isuzu here is going be introducing the DMax Rodeo as well, the same car as the orginal Holden Rodeo..how confusing.
