What Changed

The G8 sport truck returns a vehicle to the GM portfolio that hasn't existed in the U.S. lineup for twenty years. Like its sedan counterpart, the sport truck is imported from Australia where it is sold as the Holden Ute. The sport truck is some 4 inches longer than the sedan to accommodate a 42.7 cubic foot truck bed. Power is provided by a 361-bhp, 6.0L V8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
