Pontiac Asks Public to Name G8 Sport Truck

Pontiac recently announced a new G8 two-door, rear-wheel-drive car-based sport pickup
truck, which is slated for production next year as a 2010 model. The pickup will be based
on an Australian-built Holden model, and it does not have an official name yet. GM has
invited the public to visit Pontiac’s website — www.pontiac.com — until April 15 and offer suggestions in naming the
new sport truck. So far, El Camino has been a favorite. Pontiac is likely to be the only GM
division to get the new model. It’s also possible that a four-door version might be offered
later. The 2010 Pontiac G8 sport truck debuted last month at the New York International
Auto Show.
