From the classic muscle cars of the 1950's and 1960's to the sleeker Avanti Sport truck and Avanti sports cars of the 21st Century, Studebaker has kept its name as a household word. Previously plagued by financial problems, Studebaker with the help of Avanti Motors developed a new line of vehicles, making the Studebaker Avanti models the cars that gave America twenty nine new stock car records in twelve hours. Of course, the revival was short lived, and production of the Avanti model was halted in 1963. Evolving over the years in order to keep up with demand, the new Avanti sport truck for 2006 called the Extreme Utility Truck is their newest effort. This model is so new that the specifications are not even available yet, but what is known that this model will again be based on a Ford chassis. No one could ever have projected when Studebaker halted production of the Avanti line in 1963 that over forty years later there would be a new model coming off the production line.

For Avanti, 2006 is going to be a year that will go down in history with the introduction of not only a new model of the Avanti sport truck as well as a new line of Avanti sports cars. For those old enough to remember Studebakers of the 1950's and 1960's, seeing these new models displayed on the dealership floors will be a real treat. Of course, these newer vehicles, like anything else, are higher priced than their predecessors with the Avanti sport truck having a suggested retail price of $75,000 to $125,000; not the vehicle for the middle income buyer by any means. Also new in 2006 are sportier Avanti sports cars, and though prices are not yet available, it is to be assumed that these are not cars for the budget-conscious buyer, either.

These classics from the beginning of production have been equated with quality, and today is no different. Studebaker and Studebaker Avanti are names that one equates with quality and pride of workmanship. The quality is what sets the Avanti sport truck apart from other models in its class. Despite the upper end price range, when one can equate quality with that price, it makes a difference. Unlike some of the other manufacturers that are in existence today, some of whom were in existence in the 1960's as well, quality if of more importance than quantity. To say that the Avanti sport truck is a high quality, well-made vehicle is an understatement. The quality in this vehicle far surpasses any other truck that is on the road today or any that has been on the road in the past with very few exceptions. With a body style similar to the Hummer, it has a sleeker and sportier look than the Hummer. As its specifications hit the market soon, buyers will be heading to the dealerships to see what all of the fuss is about and to see just what Avanti and Studebaker have presented for 2006. Don't delay visiting your dealership when these models begin to hit the floors because you will be surprised and pleased with these new body styles and motoring concepts. Nothing else like it has ever been seen before, and there may be nothing like it ever seen again.
