If only they would give me that vehicle with a manual, i would have one in my garage tomorrow.

 

I'm waiting for that as well.

I'd also like the GXP package, but the manual is a dealbreaker for me.

 

Rumor is you won't have to wait long for either.

 

I've heard that. But damn! I need confirmation.

 

I wonder if some of the rear end parts will be good parts to help G8 and Camaro rears last longer?

 

This one is beyond me. I just dont get it, especially as a pontiac.

 

This is the sort of vehicle you would find within a brand that specializes in performance cars. Pontiac is exactly where this ute should be if they really want to bring the identity of the brand up to where it is supposed to be.

 

The new el camino, almost as good as a car, almost as good as a truck, embrace mediocrity!

 

Funny never saw the point of the F-150's and the like. For their size they haul **** all. Just big useless gas guzzlers that don't carry much more than the ute.

At least with the Ute, you're getting car like dynamics and not driving a truck.

 

Still don't like it, at all. There is a reason why it is the only one of it's kind.

When I saw the Holden version I thought it was pretty ugly, but that black pontiac version, with the hood scoops and chrome pipes....... looks pretty sweet...

 

Yeah but with a truck or a real SUV you get better ground clearance, 4 wheel drive, and according to the write up, better towing ability.

What is this the new line of Pontiac, The G8 sedan, G8 sport truck, G8 ice cream van, maybe a G8 bus, or trolly too.

I'm amazed there are people that like this vehicle.

 

Nice seats!

 

Depending on the exact truck you buy, an F-150 can tow as much as 8200 lbs and haul 3000 lbs in the bed. That's more than twice what the Ute can handle. If you need more, there's always the F-250 and F-350.
