The obvious name is The Pontiac Mullet. What do I win?

It’s the COUBogon.

The Holden Utes are great for what they do, but they already have a negative connotation so deeply ingrained in the Aussie psyche I can’t imagine the problems the US marketers are going to have.

Or the Billy Jeff? The Hopemobile? The Croc?

They look pretty cool, but I can see a future where many of these are sporting hydraulic lifts as they bounce around the streets of South Central LA.

Since I’ll never buy one I won’t try to name it.

Cars and trucks have been given male-centered names for far too long.

Let me suggest La Camina

That’s a re-made Subaru Brat, not a El Camino.

Well, then, at least they've upped the quality.

I don’t see the subaru brat in it.

I looked at one of those a long time ago and could not believe how small it was. I am 6’4 and I coulld not get inside it.

Loser Cruiser. Good timing, too, since the Taurus was to be discontinued.

I just read that GM will give the Pontiac the heave ho soon. Too bad because I would consider one of the little trucks but I’ll bet another GM badge will pick it up...

Eight month. LOL

I wouldn’t buy one mainly because I would be afraid to take it off of the pavement.
