Urban Pick-Up Trucks of 2010

The Pontiac G8 ST

2010 will be the rollout year for the Pontiac G8 ST, and sports sedan with the body of a light truck. For Pontiac to commit to the G8 ST is a huge leap of faith. GM and Chrysler are in merger talks, so any concepts in the works are up for discussion.

This is a city pick-up, making an appearance with a lower ride, huge 20 inch wheels, leather trim interior. It’s powered by a small block V8 with 361 horsepower.

The Pontiac G8 ST certainly looks promising to become a wheel-spinner and head-turner.
