Back on May 8, we reported that Pontiac was no longer considering the El Camino moniker for the 2010 Pontiac G8 ST. At that time, the information was accurate. However, it seems as though Pontiac may have had a change of heart.
According to an e-mail G8 Nation received from Pontiac Communications Manager, Jim Hopson, Pontiac is again considering ‘El Camino’ as a name for the G8 Ute. There were reportedly more than 18,000 names submitted in the Tame the Name sweepstakes and El Camino is one of many names being considered.
Jim Hopson stated, “El Camino is definitely one of the fan favorites and I do know that it is being considered. As you might suspect, there is a bit of concern about using a classic Chevy nameplate on a Pontiac, so I’d be interested in hearing your readers’ opinion on that point“.
GM has asked for the feedback from G8 Nation readers about the name of the new G8 Sport Truck. Please vote now and let’s have an impact on the 2010 Pontiac G8 ST!
