2010- The El Camino is back?

Didn't see that coming at all...
A Pontiac G8 with a bed. The G8 "ST" is supposed to start at $31,000, yay.

I think we had a thread on this last winter, but cant find it anywhere.

None the less, this seems to be the next car to win the market Darwin award for answering the question that nobody asked.

I always wondered why GM didn't call the SSR the El Camino. I think it would have helped it gain more popularity bringing back the old nameplate.

And heading straight to the barber shop for a mulletization.

I never liked the El Caminos at ALL but at least these are little more "stylish"....a little...maybe its just because they are more "modern" maybe thats the word im looking for....it seems i am lost for words

I like it looks good in the pic, I would never buy it though. My uncle had a 69' completely restored and it was beautiful...

Exactly my assessment. I think a Chevrolet badge would have been a much smarter play with an El Camino name plate.

The way they did this now shoots them in the foot with the G8. They have tried to position the G8 as the less expensive alternative to a BMW or Audi. Just when people might have finally said, "Hmm, OK maybe it is just as cool", they bring out the "El Camino" version. It is a bit of an image breaker.
