The word "ute" is an Aussie term for utility coupe, similar to your Chevy El Camino. VY was the model for that year and SS designates a sportier packaging than the regular ute and generally always V8 powered (others here may have a more accurate definition though).
Berlina is a 4 door variant based on the same platform as the ute (actually it's the other way around), with better trim and options than the base model. These cars are made here by General Motors Holden, also maker of the Pontiac GTO currently being exported to the US.
Both cars have a long history in Australia and tend to outlast, outgun and outshow anything available here with the blue badge. Sorry, I couldn't resist!
