    New El Camino....er... "G8 Sport Truck"

    Fucking A, Pontiac is on a goddam role!!

    What do you guys think of it? Personally I love it, but I love Holdens. I think it looks badass, and you can't go wrong with a 361hp LS2. I've never given a single Pontiac model a second glance in my life, and in one day they release 3 different cars I would be proud to own. Go figure!

    The new Soltice Coupe looks tits too! 260hp 4-pot turbo + super stiff coupe structure + good looks = FTW

              I agree that the Solstice coupe definitely looks like a winner.

              "See, we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."

                      Wow.

                      I'd seriously buy either of those. Couple that with the shitball US dollar, and it's even more likely I'd stay domestic vs an import.

                          I'd consider that G8 GXP. RWD is the only way i'll roll, minus the orange paint job and hood vents. Probably cost half as much as a loaded 1 series.

                              That Solstice Coupe is fucking HOT.

                              The other cars look pretty damn good too, although I'm not to found of the front grill Pontiac is putting on everything.

                                  The Solstice Coupe is intriguing. I wonder if they are going to do a hard topped version of the Saturn Sky as well? I prefer its looks over those of the solstice.

                                          Too bad they are still pontiacs.

                                              The G8 is a holden, and the Solstice is a Lotus/Opel platform, good enough.

                                                  The main problem I hate about the G8 is its weight. Close the 4000k lbs? It is obviously pretty fast in the straight line. You can make a brick go fast in a straight line, but it is hard to make a brick turn fast.

                                                      too bad they will turn it into something as shitty as the SSR.

                                                          Believe it or not, that Holden platform is pretty damn good in the corners. I would wager the G8 is one of the best handling domestic sedans ever.
