Pontiac G8 Sport Truck may still get the ‘El Camino’ badge

It was reported last month that Pontiac is down to 10 names after asking the public to vote on the name for the new 2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck. Spokesman Brian Shipman at the time said that ‘El Camino’ is most likely axed from the options due to internal conflict between Chevrolet and Pontiac over the badge.

However, according to G8 Nation, the ‘El Camino’ nameplate may be back on the table. Pontiac Communication Manager, Jim Hopson dropped the G8 focused site an email stating that the ‘El Camino is definitely one of the fan favorite’ and ‘is being considered’ once again.

Honestly we don’t see the big deal; if people like it, just give it to them. Why go back and forth on the name of the car?

    The G8 is a very nice approach at a tribute to the El Camino, but one thing remains. It's not an El Camino unless it has a bow-tie on it. No offence to Pontiac… I love most any GM product; if you're going to do it then atleast try to keep it half way traditional. Flatten the nose just a little, give the body a littl bit of muscle, lift the front an inch, and drop the rear an inch. I personally would like to see some classic, retro-like wheels on it. Like i said, just keep it simple… classic; stay as close to original as possible. Thats just the opinion of an avid el camio collector. I own 6 el caminos: 1964, 1966, 1969, 1975, 1977, and 1980; 1977 being the less favorable… yet mypersonal favorite. Just take it from an el camino connesiuer. Keep it Chevy… keep it real.
