They accompany word from on high that the official name for this trucklet has been decided. Meet the Pontiac G8 ST.
You may remember that GM solicited submissions, or rather suggestions, for what the G8 ST should be named. But after months of waiting and however many submissions, the best they could do was G8 ST? That's the name they started with! Now we feel all cheap and used, like GM knew what they were going to call this thing all along. Whatever, it will be holding court as the king of awesome in your local Pontiac dealer's showroom in late 2009 as a 2010 model. The 74-inch cargo bed and 3,500 lb towing capacity will allow you to haul more than just ***, though the V8 will surely facilitate that nicely. Pontiac's official press release can be found after the jump, and those new high-res images are in the gallery below.

Wow...GM cant make any new cars in America so they just keep stealing all the Holdens and importing them over here...tisk tisk..but i am curious. The car seems too nice to be make for a "truck" croud. I guess we will have to see.
