Pontiac was considering naming it’s new Pontiac G8 Sport Truck, the El Camino. Luckily folks within Pontiac and Chevrolet had some discussions and decided it was just strange to toss a Chevy Brand on a Pontiac even though everything is made under the same roof. Customers have a hard enough time deciding what the heck they are going to buy with the current branding problems at General Motors, all they needed was an old vintage car name on a different branch of GM.

I do however think the El Camino brand has some juice left in the tank and I think they should bring it back. Just not under the Pontiac branch of things.

I stumbled onto Venture Vehicles today. Looks like an up and coming revolutionary company.

“Venture Vehicles is dedicated to changing the world of personal transportation by creating a revolutionary new class of vehicles that is ultra-clean & efficient, safe and exhilarating to drive.”

More and more high end car companies are going to see competition from local startups and companies with innovative ideas. In the end many of these companies will probably get their ideas stolen,or get bought out by larger brands it’s really encouraging to see innovation like this driving the future of the car industry.

I hate analysts. I remember last year when they were saying gas prices would peak at 4.00 a gallon. Here’s the problem. Analysts only help fuel the oil and gas speculators helping drive the price of gasoline and alternative fuels through the roof. The problem is most people think gasoline powered cars are a neccesity, there are no other options. Well finally other options are coming to production lines and I’m sure this angers the oil and gas speculators.

Next thing you know more people will start believing in the Water Powered Car, and the powers of this world will all be spun on their heads.

Seriously at what price does Gas become obsolete? Everything has a price in which it becomes useless. I think Gasoline is quickly headed in that direction. Quickly becoming an antique.

TV Crunch discovered that the Nissan Xterra which Dwight Shrute bought from Andy Bernard was on auction at e-Bay. However, it looks like the reserve for the auction was not met so no one wins.
