There has been a lot of excitement over the new series of cars derived from the Pontiac G8. Aside from the sport sedan that should be hitting our shores in the next month or so, Pontiac will also be importing a station wagon and an El Camino type pickup truck. The pickup will debut in 2010, with a base price of around $30,000. The vehicles will be V-8 powered and rear-wheel drive. The V-8 will reportedly deliver 360 h.p., mated to a six-speed automatic with manual shift mode––the same transmission used in the Caddy STS-V and the Chevy Corvette. In a head-to-head road test between the G8 GT sedan and the Dodge Charge R/T, the Pontiac won. Motor Trend reviewers said the new G8 is “the high-adrenaline bod we’ve been waiting for––plus a romping V-8, Randy Moss moves, and amazing room at a mega-value sticker price.” Base price for the GT will be similar to the sport truck, $30,000.
