The ute lip should have been kept level through to the rear glass. Probably would have been better doing it to a wagon, or in sacrilege, to a coupe for the long doors... :P

that one is based on a sedan. i reckon it looks the goods but the cab might be a bit small. when i think how far back past the b piller i have my seat i dont think i'd fit in that. there is a te ute is tassie made from a station wagon. that one looks shithot.

thats not including the real thing.....
