The Pontiac G8 sport truck has yet to receive its official nameplate, but it looks as though ‘El Camino’ will almost certainly not adorn the truck’s tailgate, a new report finds. General Motors opened a web site earlier this year to let the general public suggest what the G8 sport truck should be named.
The El Camino name reportedly received the vast majority of the votes, but GM officials are torn about placing a Chevrolet nameplate on a Pontiac product.
In an interview with Cars.com, Brian Shipman, the man in charge of the G8 line, revealed that GM executives were leaning towards leaving the El Camino as a Chevrolet product.
However, GM has whittled the names down to 10 and is expected to reveal the winning name within the next few weeks.
