I’m a bit concerned about the abbreviated cockpit. I can understand why it’s not a four-door with front and rear seats, but I think a lot of Americans would at least want the cockpit extended back another foot or so for inside storage. Unless there’s actually more storage space than I’m thinking there is.
Absolutely awesome! That is one clean, well-done design. I have no idea if the Pontiac badge will give it the sales it could do as a Chevrolet (El Camino), but I doubt that they'll undersell the 15,000 or so that we may get per year.

BTW: I submitted "Pontiac Safari"
EDIT: Edit: Also submitted "Pontiac Mojave"

EDIT: It'll be a "2010" but it will probably come in March 2009 as a 2010 Model (just like the Camaro)

You're right. That's the reason I passed on a Tacoma. Regular cab sucks. Hopefully they'll make an extended cab version so you can at least throw a small bag or something behind the seats if you need to.
The extended cab likely won't happen, as it isn't offered in Australia already. This is pretty much that, with the G8 Grille/wheels, and the G8 steering wheel. Not really anything different than the Ute SS...
But!
Word is that GMC will get a four-door version of the Ute sometime soon-ish to replace the Sierra.
Remember Americans, it's not meant to be heavy duty. It's something you can still hall a decent load in but have loads of fun when you're racing/driving it.
Think of it as a 2-door G8 with a really big boot. Still a sports car, but a really practical one. (And handling suffers a little for that, but should still beat many other cars)
which we have in Australia already....because we made it
