The 2010 Pontiac G8 Pickup Truck
GM is billing Pontiac 2010 G8 Sport Truck as a vehicle that's creating an all-new segment in the North American car market. That's true -- technically -- if you look at what's available in today's lineups, but fans of utes (including Chevy El Camino enthusiasts) might prefer to regard this GMC pickup truck as a long overdue revival of a popular design. The two-seater truck gets its flared fenders, eighteen-inch wheels and low-profile tires from Pontiac's G8 sedan. From the middle of the roof back the sedan disappears, and a truck emerges. Wrap-around taillamps and one-piece outer rear body panels give the truck a sleek appearance. Tailgate hinges are concealed, helping to maintain the clean look. The truck's 6+ foot long bed has a composite liner and is protected by a color-coordinated soft tonneau cover.
The pickup truck is equipped with a 6.0L V-8 engine that puts out 361 hp and 385 lb.ft. of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission feeds power to the rear drive axle. GM's Active Fuel Management system controls the ignition and fuel injection systems to optimize engine efficiency and performance. Fuel mileage estimates aren't available yet, but Pontiac recommends you fill the tank with premium gas. Another two-seater truck, the Chevy SSR, only lasted a couple of years and had limited acceptance. The G8 Sport Truck appears to be more functional the SSR, not as much of a niche vehicle, and probably won't be as expensive and looks like it will stand a chance for sales for the buyers. In this era, where used cars for sale is available in various brands, it will be interesting to see whether the Pontiac G8 Sport trucks will be a head-turner here.
