  OZ Auto Technology Scores A Gig In Chicago

By David Richards | Monday | 2008-02-04

The Yanks like their cars big so the Aussie designers at the General have dished up a beast of a vehicle which will go on show at the Chicago Motor Show this week.

A concept car designed and built in Australia is about to take centre stage at the Chicago Auto Show. The hybrid-powered GMC Denali XT, a cross between a sports utility vehicle and a more traditional US style pick-up truck, was produced at GM Holden's design centre at Port Melbourne.

For the uninitiated, Australians use the term "Ute" to describe utility vehicles that are car-based pickup trucks. Both Holden and Ford offer Utes based on their rear-wheel-drive passenger car platforms.
