Continuing our coverage of the Pontiac G8 Sport Truck ballot bowl naming contest, 50 Cent has announced that he is officially endorsing his own name, "Curtis," for the name of the new ute. This comes as no surprise to our best political team on television hack team of — well, hacks — despite Bob Lutz's unofficial endorsement of "El Camino." Remember, if you haven't already, vote "El Camino" today!

"HAURVARD" I goes to koul-dge. Fiddy ain't teh brightest rappa in teh world. Afta all, da man wuz shot 9 times yo'.
I'll vote for El Camino, but ill take Maloo also (sorry australia)
I like El Camino....or Safari
The Pontiac Curtis? Wha?
@Bento:
Safari. A van made by GMC, a re-badged Chevy Astro. Yes that certainly brings back a good image for the G8 truck.
Curtis FTFW!
Who the f@ck is Fiddy and why does anyone care what he thinks?
Saw a G8 sedan in person this weekend... not too shabby up close...
By the way, if you are in the area on a Saturday, go to Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA... it is the ultimate eclectic meeting.
There was a Saleen S7 and an Enzo (in Rosso Dino, not cool...) in one area, there were some Resto-mod Camaros, classic e-type jags, a group of late 90's mustangs, a couple of datsuns (1 RHD Fairlady Z that was very nice), the new SL 63 (with the C-Class nose) next to a SLR, a few Audi RS4s, a recreation of a Nomad/Corvette concept, a Messerschmitt KR200 (awesome), and the list goes on... for every Jalop on here, you need to come to this show... Every saturday at 7am.
I walked around and chatted with Steve Millen (great guy) and was then introduced to a guy whose father started Brabus back in 1977, also a great guy.
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: AHHH, but it also brings back the classic 50s Pontiac wagon as well! Now, if I said "Pontiac G8 ToyoVan"...well then just shoot me.
The irony of 50 cent in a Harvard hat leaves me speechless.....
Those rampenfest Germans have bigger teeth than Fiddy.
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: Everyone passes names around like it's been rolled and lit up. The El Camino was a Cadillac concept before it was awesome. Intrepid was the prototype Stealth until it became my first car. Sprint was GMC's truckcar, and a really small hatchback. It's not exactly an issue.
Also, if Fiddy doesn't like El Camino, I'm even more willing to support it.
@Vintage Racer:
It's just as bad as the annoying college student that thinks he/she is gangsta. Sorry (insert snob name here), you were raised in the suburbs....not the hood.
Yeah, "Curtis." Because you can fit four or five guys in its rear end in the Home Depot parking lot.
What?
how about RAGEOUS??? umm no
but if El Camino doesnt get the thumbs up how about Tempest?
How about GR8?
Grrrrreat for "r"ecreational activities!
Oh yeah... if Curtis works, how about Butch?
The G8 Butch. Yeah.
they have that hat hanging at my BP on the corner along with Cuba, ATF and Miami Heat.
hes obviously advertising for a crest commercial
@Ω βгåғғ™: Hey man, I'm there most weeks, we should meet up!
I strayed from the home team and nominated Wolfman. It's a combination of wild and scary and not so serious.
PLEASE ! No more mention of that piece of crap half-buck. Does anyone, anywhere care what he thinks? Celebutards do NOT make my car buying decisions for me ! I do love the new ElCamino , but in a hetro kind of way
I'm still nominating that they call it the "Commodore Ute".
@IZQQMX2: In Canada, where, of course, our dollar coin is referred to as the "loonie", it's a common running joke to refer to Fiddy as "half-loonie".
Which I find somewhat appropriate.
I want this site to know that although I'm sick of the el camino talk, I cannot deny the greatness that is getting the G8 Sport Truck renamed to be the El Camino. I did vote for it!
Does GM really think,
"Hey, the kids will go for this if we get a hepcat to talk about it? He's what? A shot up gangster? He's carrying more lead than a Chinese toy? But he's still "in," right?"
It should be G8 ST.
@Novaload: kinda makes me not want a G8 now...
luckily I ignore advertising and shilling when looking at a car.
I did vote for "El Camino", but I went back and cast two additional names I actually thought of myself (I think). No offense El Camino lovers, but I had some other thoughts as well... WTF...
Wasn't Fiddy feuding with Jay-Z? If that's the case I'll vote for Pontiac Shawn. Get it? Pontiac Shawn? Ponti Action?
Ah, never mind.
@Pope Dearthair the Awesometh: half-looney, I love it ! Perhaps the tenth gunshot will do the trick.
Great, the Celebutard speaks again. I am done reading about Fitty, because he holds absolutly no value for me.
By the way, his latest album isn't doing so great. Maybe he'll crash 'n burn, like other such "artists" before he came along.
@Bento: Damn I'm a nerd. Either that or the only one that really got your joke. Mac browsers, yes?
And this is why Fitty is useless as a human being.
Oh, and his music sucks (if you can even call it that).
Sad thing is, I don't think Curtis can spell Harvard without looking at his baseball cap.
G8BACK? G8BACK.
@yellofury:They already pissed all over that name in Canada with the Pontiac version of the L-body Chevy Corsica. That car was even more malaise than 1979.
If we're gonna go gangsta, in the honor of a famous firearm. How bout the Pontiac Beretta?
Now a front man for GM as well as Dr. Dre I see. Stick to the front man with beats Fiddy, GM can not produce them like Dre can...
I'm voting Aztec.
damnit.... can't vote unless you're a US citizen! Discrimination!
@MeenFreem:
...or an illegal alien from Mexico.
To 50 Cent: It's a white thing -- you wouldn't understand (the El Camino, that is).
They didn't name the Concord the Spitfire did they? Well, how about the Pontiac Dingo.
Vintage Racer: Fiddy uses DOS and does his art with Harvard Graphics, so ...
Shutup and sit down Curtis.
@Abhicles: Do you drive something to show there or just watch (like I do... sniff...)?
make it the Pontiac G8 handlebar mustache!
@Молотов:
The Beretta was Chevrolet's predecessor to the Cavalier (of a sort) - a J-body. So yeah, I don't think that works.
Has anyone suggested Pontiac Mullet yet? Business in the front, party in the back?
@smokeydog001: Just don't go driving around with a baby inside.
