No new El Camino
New school
Old school
Sorry 50, Pontiac has decided to scrap the G8 sport truck. Pontiac had been planning on producing a new G8 sport truck with a sleek extended bed, reminiscent of its old El Camino. It even had hip hop star 50 Cent help introduce the truck at the New York auto show. However, the economy, plummeting sales of all vehicles and pressure from Washington to make fuel efficient cars combined to help Pontiac see the light. Sure it would have looked cool, but it was an uber-specialty model that would have gotten awful mileage. Besides the Clarion Content sure is 50 got to keep one of the demos.
