Re: SEMA 08: Pontiac G8 ST Concept

with alot of people used to the utility of a truck bed but no longer wanting a large truck, this could be a good product. but looking like the G8 is dumb. should've been a GMC or Chevy. This is like a BMW M3 pickup. Mindless. It'll damage the credibility of the G8 as a sporting sedan. This is one of those indications, like Saabarus and Saablazers and BuLSh1ts, that GM product "gurus" really don't bring much to the table. A bunch of guess work and testing the waters that any enthusiast could trump. It takes some stellar hits like the Vette and CTS-V to demonstrate the potential somewhere at GM's core, where folks know and love cars. But in the fringes, doing stuff that's more mainstream, there's alot of mediocrity in strategy.
