  • The Pontiac G8 ST FINALLY gets a name!! And it is.....


    ...The Pontiac G8 ST

    After all that they just went back and didn't even use any of the names they recieved from customers
    Officially Official: Pontiac G8 ST it is



    We often go poking around General Motors' media resources, so imagine our surprise when we were searching for something totally unrelated and found fresh images of Pontiac's iteration of the Holden Ute. Still warm like just-baked cookies, the images show off a great looking dark-hued modern-day El camino. And for what do we deserve a new batch of G8 ute pics? 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 ass, 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.

                      Everything that's in the Current G8 is going to be in the G8 ST. That Means Same 3.6L V6 base, 6.0L V8 GT model trim. Also, both have the Auto 6 speed only like the G8's currently. They WILL NOT get a GXP trim like the Sedan / Possible coupe, which IMHO is stupid if they wanted to make a real El Camino revival. I would have got a ST GXP, but now I'm gonna just get a Coupe or Sedan.
