I remember getting a laugh from the fact that if you unbolted the Holden badge on the grill, the Chev bow tie was there. Not a new grill, just a chrome cover... I really need to find the old photo's of 17 year old me and some of the crazy shit we did in that thing.. Ahh, memories...
But anyway, Yukon could be interesting, but 2 problems for mine:
1. GM have burned bridges in AU
2. If they have to have it converted to RHD, will it not then be too expensive in comparison to competitors. Look at Camaro as a prime example. $20k+ more than Mustang (its main competitor) here because Mustang was made RHD, Camaro had to be converted...

Keep in mind the GMC Yukon is going to have no competitors in Australia as we sit currently,
What SUVs do we have in our market that are:
- Based on American ute platforms (large vehicle)
- V8 powered
Their closest competitors are the 300 series Landcruiser (No V8 anymore) and the Y62 Patrol, but they're not road going SUVs they're designed to be off road focused 4x4s.
American SUVs are the SUVs to end all SUVs - big engines, big vehicles, designed to eat up long drives in comfort.
