Camino LS6

Yes.

Cause of death: Neglect and a distinct lack of testicular fortitude.

All the more reason to build Zeta crossovers.

We are already facing economic doom and fuel prices are only part of the problem. Even so, Pontiac is the wrong place for such a car.

I remember coasting down hills in nuetral.

A shame for this guy and his family, but he knew the rules.

Agreed. And more anonymous to boot. Big thumbs down on the styling.

And in a variety of sizes and configurations (bodystyles).

I hope GM is considering something like this.

No. It was engineered to make AWD possible - it simply hasn't yet been done (cost concerns). EDIT: Perhaps the crossovers could provide the volume to make AWD cost-effective.

I'm so proud.

Seems to me that "the whole picture" should contain a variety of cars.

My only complaint is that there should not be a Pontiac version.

Nicely done,BV. What XP said. Good luck with it and have fun!

Fleet pricing! :AH-HA_wink:

Seen that one, and don't really care for it much.

Just some Zeta capabilities: Multiple wheelbases Multiple widths Sedan, wagon,coupe,vert,sportscoupe,truck,crew cab truck,crossover: all possible (i can think of more variants as well) RWD and AWD 4cyl. 6cyl. 8cyl capable Diesel, hybrid, flex-fuel,gas, NA and boosted powerplants Rave reviews in the press 2nd fastest-selling sedan in the US Style, passion, and performance realistic pricing already sold on multiple continents to be built on a brand new flex line in NA Race winning Viable and affordable alternative to BMW Can be differentiated among the brands so that "re-badge" never comes into play Can offer an alternative to the SUV No brainer in my book.

I'm not quite ready to become a terrorist. :AH-HA_wink:

Not from the state, but BATF has to issue a license (free). I like the notion of taking the profit out of it and thumbing our noses at the oil companies.

One of my worst diving experiences ever was suffering with a Cavalier loaner while my new "87 El Camino was in for warranty work. These cars were absolute crap in my book.

If I ever win the lottery, you guys will be seeing some interesting "phantoms" along these lines. :AH-HA_wink:

I think I was already into cars while still in the womb. At first, it didn't matter who made it - all cars fascinated me. But my Dad was a Ford man and had been a Studebaker man, and became an International Harvester man. So he had some influence over me, I liked those tough-as-nails IH beasts as well as Mustangs and classic Ford hotrods. But my uncle was a chevy guy and had a badass '55 210 followed by a parade of other GM cars and trucks, so I would say he had something to do with my Chevy obsesssion. I've owned other GMs, but Chevy has always been home and Pontiac has always been an object of lust. A young neighbor had a 1970 Firebird Formula 400 in Lucerne blue that drove past my house day after day dragging my eyes behind it every time. After that, I knew that some performance Pontiacs would be in my future some day. You have all heard the stories and seen the pics of what I've owned and driven over the years, and you know that the El Camino has always been my "holy grail". Who would have imagined that one vehicle would someday merge my major influences into a single package that I anxiously await at this moment? The G8 Sport Truck takes my El camino obsession and my lust for Pontiacs and tosses in a pinch of my pickup-owning tendencies and stirs the mixture into exactly the sort of vehicle that is more "me" than any other could be. What's not to love?

Stupid thread, about a stupid idea, supporting a stupid strategy. Moronic to the core.
