@beercheck: Actually, that is pretty clever. Too bad to 'Murican ears, the word 'gaucho' sounds like a steer choking on a rubber ball.

Since it's a bastardization, neither American, nor a Chevy, why not just call it the Dingo.

I'm still baffled as to why this needs to be a Pontiac.

Whatever.

All Hail the New Truckcar Overlords!

Should this fail to sell and further jeopardize GM's future, we can all start referring 'El Camino G8'.

Being an Irish resident, can I first of all condemn the consumption of green beer as idiotic.

Also, being an Irish resident, I faked my address to call this bad-boy an El Camino, even though I'm never even likely to see one. You're now talking to Philip Dunlop of 43047 Bork Close, Falaffalaf, California. Pleased to meet you.

I'll be screwed if I actually do win the new El Camino, mind you.

Baby Jesus graces us with his presence! Not only can we drink copious amounts of Green Beer today, but now we can dream of mullets and hours of CCR on mp3.

Just to let you 'Mericans know, us up in the great white north aren't able to vote for the name. So, there are a few names you are not allowed to call this vehicle out of respect for us.

1) Canyonero
2) Patriot (yes, I know Jeep owns this name, but derivatives of this are strictly prohibited)
3) Freedom (though, I am sure Ford owns this as part of their 'F you!' naming strategy).
4) Any names that can be connected in anyway to the military
5) Any and all words or combinations that appear in the Star Spangled Banner

Actually, I am going to make this easier. Just vote El Camino. We will be happy here and thank you for it by not sending you so much snow next year.

I don't check my RSS reader most weekends, today is a good day indeed. I'm going ot test drive one the second it comes out and as long as it's reasonably prices and handles well I'm buying it.
