Default The NEW El Camino???

Man, this would be awesome with the 4.5L DMAX in it.. Or even a decent small block.. I LOVE the old Rancheros and El Caminos..



Pontiac officially unveiled the G8 Sports Truck earlier this year, but at the same time announced that no official name had been picked. Well its been confirmed and I'm sorry to all you El Camino fans out there...but the G8 Sports Truck has been officially named the Pontiac G8 ST.
After GM unveiled the G8 Sports Truck earlier this year the automaker announced a contest to name the vehicle and after more than 18,000 submissions the G8 ST name was chosen.
The 2010 G8 ST is powered by a 361 hp V8 engine as the G8 GT sedan and offers a 73.9-inch cargo bed that has 42.7 cubic feet of cargo space. The G8 ST can also town up to 3,500 lbs and has a 0-60 mpg time of 5.4 seconds.
