Chevrolet El Camino

Whatever happened to the truck-car? The El Camino was first produced by GM in 1959 and lasted all way up to 1987. Not quite a coupe and not quite a pickup truck, the El Camino combined the performance and style of a Chevelle with the utility of a pick-up. The closest you're gonna get to one of these now would probably something along the lines of those factory-blinged-and-slammed F150 Lightings.
In 2008, there was a brief glimmer of hope for a GM built El Camino-style car by way of the LS3 powered Pontiac G8 variant, the Pontiac G8 ST, which was due to hit the streets this year. Sadly, with the death of Pontiac, so went the ST.
Of course, GM probably still has all those parts laying around in a bin somewhere, so what's stopping them from slapping a Chevy badge on the ST and putting it on the road?
