Name That Loser!
Yeah, so it's 100% true. Pontiac introduced the G8 truck! Yeah, a truck. But with the front of a G8. How awesome is that?
The world has been yearning for a car truck since the dawn of time. And even though Subaru sold one recently and discontinued it because of very, very poor sales, Pontiac thinks you'll want one. Only bigger. That uses more fuel.
Bigger AND uses more fuel. That's what Pontiac thinks.
But what's it's name? Well, Pontiac doesn't know. But they know you want one! And they know you want to name it.
So, go to Tame the Name and enter your idea there. That's right, be a naming ninja! <--Honestly, their words!
Come on! How long before this turkey is canned?
Ok, a truck car, sounds kinda interesting, but you lost me when it said takes more fuel. If it was fuel efficient and had some room, I'd be totally interested. I currently drive a Matrix which I abuse like a truck now - so it would have definitely peaked my interest.

Pontiac needs something fresh and new to appeal to the masses...not sure this is it though. A "truckish-car" is usually not a worthy truck nor an appealing/economic/comfortable/spacious car.

This makes absolutely no sense to me...why would Pontiac come out with this vehicle now, with gas prices as high as they've ever been (and rising)? Someone needs to be fired in the marketing departement. I mean, come on, they can't even come up with their own name!

I can't see what type of person can afford a V8 with today's fuel prices...
