>Colorado company makes them anyway by importing Holden utes in parts and mating them to Chevy or Pontiac donor cars including the left hand drive for road registration

>and costs over 3x more than the car's value

Want an ute in America? Too fucking bad, you're not getting one.

If they can ask that price, then that's its value.

Its literally just this.
No full size truck conspiracy
No lack of market
Just outdated laws

That only applies to imports. For domestic production it's also the fact that car based utility vehicles face the same emissions and safety regulation that passenger cars do, making them as expensive to produce as passenger cars, in an effort to protect Detroit's SUV and pickup truck sales because it's the only thing still making them money.

>>15952487
just get a colorado, its basically the same thing minus the v8 go fast

>>15953144
Dat straight five though.

The market determines the value, mate. The price someone will pay IS the car's value.
