Maybe G8 - Maybe Camaro

 

[OctaneZ28]

Yeah, for real. What is that?
It's definitely a VE/Zeta wagon...at least it appears that way.

Sure could be a G8 wagon, or maybe the Commodore wagon.

I don't know why they would be hiding the wagon unless they plan a big intro in Detroit. I wanna see the Ute get to the US more than the wagon.

"What's a ute?"

The highest-end Ute trim is coming to the US as the G8 ST(sport truck).

But it's so **** expensive.

 

[Z28 Autobot]

it is the wagon..and the ute I think will be the new SSR..great idea just to expensive

 

[USA1Camaro]

If the G8 ST has a MSRP of $30K-$35K would you guys think that it is too expensive?

I've saw a Ute (G8 ST) review in one of the auto rags, but they were way off base in calculating what the MSRP will be.

I'm going to attempt to pick up a G8 Sport Truck once they start hitting the used car/ lease return lots.

 

[Z28 Autobot]

I think it has to be in the high 20K range for it to compete really..

Think about it Dodge just dropped the Magnum. There is a market but the price has got to come down. Especially if the only thing in the back is a bed...the price should be about 30K tops..

or your going to have another SSR debockle

 

[USA1Camaro]

I think that $25k-$30k is possible. I just wanted to see if people were thinking SSR range.

If you get the ST to hook it should be a quick ride. It should be good bang for the buck.

 

[Luwinkle]

I think GM already said the G8 ST is going to start at $31k+ since it's the highest trim Ute level only.

And thats where it will fail I think. If you got one in below 29K it would work..

 

[Luwinkle]

I'd be happy with a ST with the 250-60HP V6..or the new DI V6, with dual exhaust, personally. Great mix of power and MPG.

 

[Z28 Autobot]

if they make that version..it would sell at a 25K price tag it will sell..

 

[CUONCRS]

The V6 should definitely be an option. Anyone see what the weight difference is in the truck versus the car?

 

[Luwinkle]

Plus, with a bit of work, a DI V6 can throw out as much power as the L76 anyway.

The Ute is slick. I'd rather have athe Camaro but Good thing about it though is that when the Camaro is paid off I'll be able to pick one off a used car lot at a much better price. Much like I did with the GTO. **** I'm going to need a bigger Garage and somewhere inbetween the Camaro and Ute I have to squeeze in the wife a mustang .

Haha, I remember when I convinced someone (who shall FOREVER REMAIN NAMELESS*twitch*) that the Camaro Concept Vert was better looking than the current Mustang Vert.

That moment ruled.

 

[Z28 Autobot]

why? It does.

This is the first time that I've seen that pic, but I would stalk that truck if I saw it on the road. It's like a party on wheels. I'm getting excited just looking at it.
