32 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 19, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Experience the all-new innovative Pontiac G8 Sport Truck Continued from PAge 30 els aft of the B-pillars are unique from the G8 sedan. One-piece outer body panels give the vehicle a sleek appearance. Wrap-around taillamps and fully concealed tailgate hinges add to the sculpted look. A color-coordinated, soft tonneau cover conceals and protects items in the cargo bed from the weather. The sport truck draws its strength from the same powerful 6.0L V-8 engine used in the G8 GT. It puts out 361 hp and 385 lb/ft of torque. The combination of a six-speed automatic transmission and Active Fuel Management technology provides both carlike fuel economy and an unexpected 0-to-60 time of 5.4 seconds. While these performance numbers are respectable by sports car standards, the G8 sport truck offers flexibility unlike that of a sports car. A 73.9-inch (1878 mm) cargo bed has 42.7 cubic feet (1208 L) of cargo space and a durable composite bed liner. It also can carry a payload of more than 1,074 pounds (488 kg) and tow a 3,500-pound (1,600 kg) trailer. A four-wheel independent suspension with electronic stability control delivers confident handling, whether loaded with weekend homeimprovement supplies or towing a pair of personal watercraft to the lake. The G8 sport truck rides on 18inch machine-faced aluminum wheels with a P245/45R18 summer performance tire. All-season tires are available. An optional Sports Package includes 19-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels with P245/40R19 summer performance tires.
