Would definitely buy one over the train wrecked design of the Canyon/Colorado.

They said that when the PT cruiser and Dodge magnum came out.

Ok maybe the magnum is a poor example, you dont see too many of those.

The only competition is that Honda ridgeline, it's a current truck on a car chassis. Ok maybe it is a bad idea.

love that the article said the el camino was built from 59 to 77 when in 78 they downsized to the G body Malibu platform and stopped making them in 86.

since ford doesn't make the ranger anymore, might be a good time to bring it on.

I had 2 el Caminos. I loved them! I'd go for a test drive in one of these.

Front is too busy. Fix that and you may be on to something.

Depending on interior space I would buy one in a heart beat. I've always been a el camino fan Im just not to sure on the tonneau cover do they offer it without it?

If they came back to the US they would be the vehicle I would buy after paying off my 2012 SS.

Truck utility with car like ride and handling would be perfect for me.

That was my selling point there. Plus having owned many El Camino's growing up.
