Reminds me of the time my boss took delivery of a VE Calais.

Me - you chose the Wagon.....
Boss - No..... its a Sportswagon.......
Me - (In my head I'm saying - ITS THE SAME THING!!!)......(Actually say)oh ok, great choice, practical.

Merged your posts with this thread.

I don't know why Holden didn't simply do this, the ute with the panel van like canopy from a few years back.

Simple.

Don't like the wagon much.

I'd rather spend that kind of money building a retro HZ panelvan with an injected 308, T5, big brakes and a 4 link rear end, though I've never considered anything after the WB (or any Gemini, Commodore etc) a real Holden.

But that's just me.

The canopy on the blue ute above (Lunch's post 93), is an AMCAT canopy.
I think these 2 links are the same company:
http://www.amcat.com.au/index.php?p=...elvan-Canopies
http://www.hi-classcomposites.com.au
I like them. And would prefer one, rather than a van.
I've seen a thread on a van forum, that had an entry made, and engineered. It was a diamond shape, and only reversible by replacing with a new rear panel/window section.

I had a quick look inside the cab, there was no rear window so a child could access the back through the front..
Price tag was $57k
