New York Times Goes Negative On Jalopnik El Camino Campaign

The New York Times's Lawrence "Lars" Ulrich took a swing at pithy commentary on the 2010 Pontiac G8 "El Camino" sport truck today, deciding to heap the bed full of liver-lilied liberalism and haterade. To wit:
"Who exactly was clamoring for a two-seat, gas-guzzling pickup with the cheapest-looking interior this side of a Motel 6?"
Who? Well, us for one. But we wouldn't expect Ulrich to understand anything about a vehicle... More »

2001 Holden VU S Completely Roo Proof, Possibly Dekotora Inspired

If you want a peek into the end-of-life future of the Pontiac G8 Utes to come, here's a good idea what kids in the heartland will be doing with the almost El Camino after it does the 1 lap of depreciation. This example for sale in Oz is going for approximately $21,954 USD, but it's still redneck-tastic. We'd be lying if we said in our younger days, half our friends didn't have aftermarket bumpers like this on their trucks, so we know the motivation for installing guards like this - primarily deer, or in this case kangaroos.

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP Coming Soon? High Performance Pontiac Magazine Gives Us Their Wish List

The Pontiac G8 GT commercial we showed you very early this morning was good at tightening the pants of any auto lover with a joy for recreating classic 80's Midway games. But there's still been some criticism of the arrow-headed brand over their neglect of the stick as well as some who believe the General's "performance brand" may not be driving excitement as much as they'd wish it to be. Well, the rumor on the street — and by street we mean the web pages of High Performance Pontiac magazine — is that Pontiac will be looking to bring to market a Pontiac G8 GXP for the 2009 model year. They're speculating
"There is plenty of evidence out there hinting to a future G8 GXP, one with a more powerful V8 and maybe a six-speed manual."
In addition, they've got a list of what they'd like to see in an eventual GXP, which we've provided after the jump: More »

First Pontiac G8 Wagon Photo?

Ben caught it before any of us. His eagle eyes caught something all of us should have immediately noticed if we hadn't been so Camaro crazy. Unless our eyes are playing tricks on us — there's a camouflaged wagon hanging off the back of that Camaro-carrying trailer truck from the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro spy photos we just posted. We'd been told we should expect a Pontiac G8-branded wagon and truck-car ute for the Pontiac brand and now we're wondering — is this the first picture of the Pontiac G8 wagon we've been told we should be expecting? In other words, is this the harbinger of the Pontiac G8-amino? What say you?
