Pontiac Names Its Ute, With No Help From The Masses

I,m not mad, just pissed off!!

“Silver” is a white horse

W T F

GXT was one suggestion I liked, also I liked Palomino. Those were two names on MY LIST. Those sound better than UTE. I don’t know where the heck my list is, I gave up after missing the deadline!!

Pontiac! Great to see it.

How come the past keeps coming back…….those ugly ass cars didnt make it the first time when it was called the el camino what makes them think that anyone would want to buy that ugly piece of shit now

pontiac baja pontaic camino

By the way guys, ST stands for “Sport Truck,” as stated by GM reps.

I agree with the name! Can’t be an El Camino if it ain’t Chevy. And besides, the front end looks just like a G8. I agree with Chevy on this one!

well that is a retarded name, that is like naming the new cameros and chargers by a serial number, if we were to call it the el camino it would be another great comeback…but no we had to be europian about it (mercedes and bmw) and give it random letters and numbers

Does it matter? Did you buy your vehicle because of the model name?

GM owns Holden, which means they can use any/all of Holden’s designs. And right now all of Europe and Australia are laughing at the US and GM because of the failure to design invigorating cars with quality in mind.

This Sucks

WHERE ARE THE GREAT NAMES OF THE 50′S AND 60′S? THE ONLY ONE REVIVED I KNOW OF IS THE MALIBU. Is GM in reality Holden in disguise?

as long as it has at least 350 + horese it will b ok but yeah the nose is ugly ad wtf is with the name game anyways hope it comes w standard option (probably wont ) and it better be able to smoke the tires…. but id still rather have a CHALLENGER ON 24S MANE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why didnt they stick to the pontiac thing and make it a G8 GXT. ST has never been a logo for pontiac.

If it werent for my current 2002 Pontiac Firehawk, I would have nothing to do with GM, Pontiac, or any other ridiculous thing they have done the last 6 years. Amazing!!!

ITS OK…STILL THINK CHEVY SHOULD OF CAME OUT WIT THE EL CAMINO BACK IN 2002 I WAS A BIG FAM OF THE CONCEPT THEY HAD BAC IN 2002

well, they’ll ruin it somehow. they always do. I bet a manual transmission won’t be available. most of GM’s cars are just grandma cars anymore. whats next? an ecotech powered corvette pushing out 130 hp? I’ve got it, they’ll make there trucks bulkier and even more ugly!

As long as it has at least an LS2 option I don’t care.

Stupid fucking name for a stupid fucking car!

Plain and simple, FUCK GM.

what
the
fuck!!!
like the ora of the G series wasnt bad enough the finaly have a goos desien and they ad it to the G series!!

Houston Texans and the NFL did the same crap…asked for people to name the new team (back when it was admitted to the NFL) and what did they do….they kept the same stupid name “Texans” that the owner wanted from the beginning…

So there is precedence for this

YO DIS IZ CRAZY IMMA COP ME 1 A DEEZ WEN DEY COEM OUT THRO ON SUM 2-6S, B BOOMIN IN DA HOOOD

el camino, rampage, ranchero, baja, VW truck even had a name, and now the bext pontic has for this thing is G8 ST, damn its a sick ride but shitty name

ST STANDS FOR “SHITTY TRUCK”…..4 REALZ

wtf? garbage

st means SPORT TRUCK

shitbox would have been the appropriate name

ST??? wtf is that…i say stick with el camino!! a well known name!

Wait what does ST actually stand for? Introducing the all new G8 Shitty Title? Super Transformer? Special Transaction? (ie expensive), Silly Tailgate?(It does look awkward in the back)

After submitting my name of this thing, (it wasn’t El Camino or Caballero) I feel jipted and ripped off. The name I submitted was “Velocista” which means “Sprinter” in spanish. Remincient of the GMC Sprint that came before the Caballero.
When it does come out this year or next (I can’t remember) I hope someone or some company makes a new nose for it. I cannot stand the “kidney bean” Pontiac nose on any of their cars. Hopefully in the Chevy style or GMC style, not officially licensed of course.
-
Argh, I hate this crap with the car companies. “Hey we want you to name this car, but we already have a name for it. So your submissions are useless. Good luck chumps.”
-
Stupid execs not in touch with anyone in the ouside world. Every idea for a name they get is beyond LAME. Everything named now is either letters, acronyms, traditional, and hippie BS.
-
I agree with “speedcanhurt”, it didn’t need a new name at all. Do it like the old CRX name. “Honda Civic CRX” Then it could have been the “Pontiac G8 Ute”
-
BAH! whatever. I’m still buying my HHR SS. Even though I hate acronyms.

Even drifters do it with the 240sx now that i remember! Pontiac should fire some people

I’m totally not buying one now. Who wants something called a G8 ST? That’s boring.

Dodge had one too, the Rampage. The VW rabbit truck was a favorite of mine too.

Derrick: I don’t remember the name of it but i think even mazda has one like that!

It didn’t occur to them to call it what it is? You know, ‘COMMODORE’? Or even call it the ‘MONARO’ or ‘CROSS 8′ or something that it is actually produced as in Australia… why does everything imported into the US have to have a new name?

You mean the Brat?

Well that’s an original concept! Half car half truck! never seen that! (EL CAMINO, ranchero and the subaru that i cant remember the name of)

I am gettimg one as well. Then I can get the wifey a G8.

i’m still buying one who cares about the name

I dont think it sounds that bad. They could have named it some stupid ass name like rockettruck or the G8 Truck. Besides I bet Canada wont fuckin get these anyways.

And I failed at putting my info in…DOH! Beige-fail.

They don’t make any silver cars these days…they are all beige, just different colors of beige. Blue-beige, green-beige, beige-beige. Beige is just the most bland color ever, so everyone wants it, because most new cars are bland. This one happens to be black-beige.

You know what that’s ok bacause I will name mine after what I submitted.

Now as long as they deliver the G8 platform. It won’t be so disappointing.
