i liked the el cams, but this concept is very old and i thought they already decided to call it el camino, its currently a holden car.

The G8 ST will probably be here later in the year or early next year. I'm guessing that it will hit about the same time as the GXP. From what I'm hearing, Chevy will not be getting this vehicle. It will be Pontiac only.

ahhhh.. only reason I made the mention of the chevy version is from the picture above that has the chevy one...
I found it from the pontiac stuff, but it made mention the chevy one was 2010.. that is why I had said about it....

I like the front end on the chevy picture, but the hood from the pontiac..
LOL

either way, I will be down to check one of these out... Need a truck to pull the camaro.. LOL

GAY...seriously really gay. There is no point of making a truck like this. Either build one for hauling and offroading or dont build one at all

they should just name it the Half-Am ... that way all the TA guys have less to bitch about when the new Camaro comes out and the Firebird stays on the shelves




I'd honestly drive one for a daily... hell I'd almost be proud to

I personally think that is the worst idea ever. Looks like total **** imo. In the potential pontiacs or whatever forum people seem to really like it though.

Always thought el caminos, and rancheros looked like total ****.

I hope it does better than the SSR also. I didnt like the retro SSR but I like this one. Everyone has their own tastes I guess.
