The New York Times 's Lawrence "Lars" Ulrich took a swing at pithy commentary on the 2010 Pontiac G8 "El Camino" sport truck today, deciding to heap the bed full of liver-lilied liberalism and haterade. To wit: "Who exactly was clamoring for a two-seat, gas-guzzling pickup with the cheapest-looking interior this side of a Motel 6?" Who? Well, us for one. But we wouldn't expect Ulrich to understand anything about a vehicle... ...he misnames as the "Pontiac Sport Truck," forgetting those strong G8 roots. But he makes up for it with hackery like calling our beloved El Camino the "Like Hell Camino," the "Pontiac Wallaby" and the "Haulacious." Isn't that precious? It's like he studied at the school of me, but without the love of real cars. [ New York Times ]

If you want a peek into the end-of-life future of the Pontiac G8 Utes to come, here's a good idea what kids in the heartland will be doing with the almost El Camino after it does the 1 lap of depreciation. This example for sale in Oz is going for approximately $21,954 USD, but it's still redneck-tastic. We'd be lying if we said in our younger days, half our friends didn't have aftermarket bumpers like this on their trucks, so we know the motivation for installing guards like this - primarily deer, or in this case kangaroos. galleryPost('holdengrille', 3, 'The Ghost Of El Caminos Future'); Since Roo's are pests in Australia like deer and antelope here, and not of the cuddly belly-pocket toting icons they are in the US, making sure your Holden wins in a fight is more important than looks. Of course, depending on your perspective it does look pretty badass. We've got a shiny new nickel that says this ride has never done a donut in its life. { DigiAds...

Ben caught it before any of us. His eagle eyes caught something all of us should have immediately noticed if we hadn't been so Camaro crazy. Unless our eyes are playing tricks on us -- there's a camouflaged wagon hanging off the back of that Camaro-carrying trailer truck from the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro spy photos we just posted. We'd been told we should expect a Pontiac G8-branded wagon and truck-car ute for the Pontiac brand and now we're wondering -- is this the first picture of the Pontiac G8 wagon we've been told we should be expecting? In other words, is this the harbinger of the Pontiac G8-amino? What say you? galleryPost('2010PontiacG8Wagon', 2, 'Pontiac G8 Wagon -- Maybe');
