Looks like the US is taking some ideas from our friends down under. Can anybody say El Camino.

hummm i liked the old school el camino and always wondered why people didnt snap them up quicker here in the states.... maybe with the gas crunch people will start moving on to these...

Seen it, but i definitely prefer the Holden front end...that looks like a BMW with downs syndrome...

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I'd used to think they were cool...then I saw a dodge viper. :love:

The Pontiac design team always comes up with "questionable" designs.

The worst was the Aztec. But then, even after that they didn't have the sense to just drop the design, but tried to incorporate the look into other cars, which prompted this image I created for the debut of the Maibu Maxx:

...that looks like a BMW with downs syndrome...

I may have to make another poster...

I'm not crazy about the Malibu Max, but I like the Malibu SS...a huge step up from the other Malibu's

Where is the new TA???? Bastards.

Werd.

Are they truly serious of really putting that car into production? It looks like a old Grand Prix with down syndrome... its a chromosome that just never developed all the way

O dear god...*goes and finds a spoon to take eyes out with*

Pontiac build quality is crap. Their interior is grainy, gap happy, plastic with the most foul smelling glue possible. Their exterior trim has a tendency to un-glue itself within a few years, and the lights always fade and take on water. 3100, 3400, and 3800 intake gasket failures.... Glad I don't work there anymore.

What the hell was that thing I just looked at?

 

[JSHeinrich]

You guys really think it that horrible? I've always like the el camino and I kind of liek this one too. It not that bad.

Agreed to an extent, but it has really stolen from the new Holden design...

 

[IJ.]

They looked MUCH better before the US designers "fixed" them.....:aigo:

Looking at buying a plain jane VE for a DD and have gotten prices through a Bud.

 

[Sawbladz]

I rather like it and I am a fan of the new G8 too...

 

[Sil]

New G8's should come in mid-end April according to my manager, I'll make my mind up when I drive one. And the El Camino revamps kind of old news. Ya build quality isn't the greatest, but it could be worse, at least you don't pay an exorbitant amount for poor build quality like in a Mercedes or Audi.

......... And the El Camino revamps kind of old news.

I've heard stuff in the rumor mill, but this is the first time I've seen something solid. Where have you seen stuff about it?.

GM was supposed to bring the Ute over when they brought the Monero over (GTO). I never thought it'd go under the Pontiac moniker though....always was supposed to be the resurrection of the El Camino. I like the Utes, but that Pontiac grille has GOT TO GO!!!
