2010 Pontiac G8 ST Likely DOA

PickupTrucks.com is reporting that Pontiac’s planned sport truck, the G8 ST, based on the G8 sedan, has been killed; it will not go on sale this year as originally planned, and it seems unlikely it will ever go on sale in the U.S.

An enthusiast and journalist favorite, it’s likely the ST would sell less than the sedan version, which isn’t exactly a top-seller. Last month, the G8 sedan sold 1,479 units. That’s more than the new Hyundai Genesis’ 1,040, but far less than the Dodge Charger’s 5,414 units, which was down 51% from the same month in 2007.

We’re still waiting on official confirmation from GM, but Mike Levine, editor of PickupTrucks.com, is reporting the news from reliable sources.

Oh snap

they didn't pick my name in that stupid & time wasting contest. So I say, "Good Riddance"!

I can't even remember the last time I saw the G8 being advertised, they should prolly work on that if they want sales to pick up.

did any1 win that dumb contest? They were supposed 2 get the 1st one off the assembly line...

This was a mistake from the get-go. They should have brought over the coupe.

Bob Lutz won.

so the guy who won got 2 pick another Pontiac...& what'd he choose? Torrent GXP...
