newVideoPlayer("chiGMCreveal_jalopnik.flv", 475, 269,""); That's right folks, GMC just revealed its Denali-ero to the press, here at the auto show in the City that is Windy (and snowy). We've already shown you all the up close and personal details of the Denali XT Concept , but this is the first time it's been displayed at a show. All that Aussie-designed goodness made the crowd go wild, and I think they had to call in the cavalry or something to retain the mob. But all of that's a good thing. Because in our book, the more car-truck love, the better. We just wish GM would stop calling it a "Sport-Utility Truck." Those marketing people at GMC seriously need to grow some mullets and embrace their Caballero heritage. galleryPost('doanegmcdenalixtconceptreveal', 6, 'GMC Denali XT Concept - Exterior');galleryPost('doanegmcdenailxtconceptinterior', 6, 'GMC Denali XT Concept - Interior');

newVideoPlayer("GMCshrimp_Jalopnik.flv", 475, 269,""); This is it. It's called the GMC Denali XT Hybrid Concept Truck, and this unibody rear-wheel drive Australian professional grade car-truck action set to be unveiled this week at the Chicago Auto Show is making us excited in a way we haven't been since we saw the first episode of My Name Is Earl . And why shouldn't we be? Everyone knows the El Camino had a GMC version called the Sprint Caballero ! GM, knowing of our love of all things car with a truck-bed allowed us, along with the fellow lovers of all things El Camino at PickupTruck.com, the opportunity to go behind the scenes in sunny Southern California for an exclusive with the design team and some one-of-a-kind photos of this unique Aussie import. When we accepted the invite to attend (at our own expense of course) we were expecting to see nothing more than a re-badged four-door Holden Crewman updated to the current VE architecture. Cool, but nothing...

Despite earlier reports the four-door Zeta-platform GMC concept pickup truck would be coming to the New York Auto Show, we've been told by people in the know it'll be hitting the floor at the Chicago Auto Show. We guess we'll be seeing it much earlier than expected. Maybe "Maximum" Bob Lutz was just having a senior moment of some kind. Our sources also indicate it'll have a drastically different look than anything else out of Australia with a truck bed -- including the Holden Crewman ute up top. But it's not just the looks that'll be different. We're told the form factor will be an entirely unibody design -- not just the weird-ass unibody front end with a half-chassis welded on to the back like the Crewman. A true car-based pickup truck. The mere thought's causing our pants to start to tighten. We mean, is this GMC an xtremely interesting development or what? Come on, is this seriously the new GMC -- Caballero ? We can only hope. But one thing's...
