    Your opinion, is the El Camino a truck? If no, what is it then? If yes, what makes it a truck?

    I prefer the Australian term. It's a Ute.

    Somehow, despite having the Ranchero and Camino for the larger fraction of a century, we haven't ever adopted a proper name for them.

    Edit, I cheated and looked up the answer. The official classification is "coupe utility."

    Wasn't every generation based off the Monte Carlo of the same generation?

    Early models looked the same as the Chevelle. The El Camino was also produced after the Chevelle was discontinued. I think that was when the Monte Carlo platform was used.

    Gender dysphoria (GD) is the distress that an automobile feels due to a mismatch between their gender identity—their personal sense of their own gender—and their sex assigned at birth. The diagnostic label gender identity disorder (GID) was used until 2013 with the release of the DSM-5

    IIRC, yes.

    But regardless, full sized even if it was a Biscaye or Bellaire
