Another embargo bites the dust, but at least it made it this far. Keep reading for all the details on the GMC Denali XT Concept that will debut next week at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show.

Ever since it became know that GM would be bringing the rear-wheel-drive Pontiac G8 sedan to the US market from Australia, fans of the old El Camino have been salivating for them to bring over the Holden "Ute", as well. 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.

Camino fans can now relax, because the first US iteration is arriving in Chicago this week and it's got some interesting twists. The GMC Denali XT concept is inspired by the Holden Crewman, which was a four-door variant of the Commodore with a pickup truck bed out back. While this layout is nothing new to our friends Down Under, what is unique to the Denali XT is its powertrain, and it provides some interesting hints as to what we might be seeing in this and other vehicles from the General. Read on to find out more.

Pretty cool stuff, IMO. Btw what's up with all this embargo bullshit?

Wow, I really like it. It's got a sleek bad-ass look.

The embargo is just the time set by the manufacturer that the press is allowed to start giving information and pics out.

Yeah, I know, but a lot of publications seem to be breaking them recently. I wanna know whether it's just a publicity stunt, or whether magazines really don't care anymore.

Besides the really obnoxious GMC logo on the back, I like it.

The Dub Edition wheels and tires look 'cheap diecast toy made in third world country', or something. Likely some of the styling cues will make it somewhere, but I doubt something that radical looking will make it to the streets.

that shit looks tall, how are you supposed to throw shit in the back?

It's a Denali, it's not for carrying cargo, it's for carrying ego.

this looks like another "small-penis" truck. hummer lovers will love it. the Holden Ute atleast has personality, this thing looks like a shortbus version

There is about 200 sqaure inches of unnecessary grill up front, but I guess thats what Denali's are...

Big ass grills & wheels are the tailfins of this generation.

I think it looks pretty slick, though it's really similar to VW's AAC concept from '01.

I was thinking i could be the next generation Honda Renegade...but overall it looks pretty cool.

Besides the huge grill and logo..I think it looks quite good. Macho is the word I'd use.
