click above for more high-res renderings of the Chevy El Camaro

We're relatively certain that General Motors has no intention of reviving the El Camino nameplate. Fans of car-based trucklets should be happy that the General has given the green light to produce the Pontiac G8 ST and leave it at that. Of course, the mind wanders regardless and comes up with such interesting ideas as this, the El Camaro. While these renderings provided by Autoblog reader Bo Z are a bit stylized, we imagine that developing such a vehicle wouldn't require a large investment. Much like the G8 ST is simply the front end of a G8 sedan grafted onto the body of Holden Ute, the El Camero could be produced by doing the same thing with the front end of the new Camaro. We know, we know... new, more stringent CAFE regulations are right around the corner, the truck market is shrinking, etc. This is not the time to be dreaming of a Camaro with a bed. At least we've got Photoshop to help express our fanciful whims.

nice renderings that would be cool of gm to do something like that

 

why have a gas guzzling truck when you can get an el camino! i could see people who want to haul things and dont wanna spend $500 a month on gas flocking to this

 

"El Camero"

Nice

 

That makes baby Jesus cry

 

 

I think it looks pretty good!

 

Good one!

Heck they didn't even get the fuel door right.

Ugly imho. However I wonder what a nomad version of the Camaro would look like.

 

So now someone's photoshops are newsworthy? Wow.

 

Must be a slow news day.

 

... looks like somebody beat a ute w/ an ugly stick.

 

ONE thing I like about it. the front side marker lights are little bowties. That's awesome.

 

it should be el camino instead of el camaro i dont think gm would name that el camaro

 

Why? So they can sell 5 of them?

 

Ugly. G8 ST is much better IMO.
