Attn: Fbodfather- Will GM save the Pontiac G8 for the U.S. market via rebadge?

Scott-
MANY people are hoping GM will save the Pontiac G8 GT/GXP and rebadge it as a Chevrolet for the U.S. market.
Considering the G8 is ALREADY being built as a Lumina SS for other markets,
it would be a senseless tragedy to kill off this GREAT GM sedan for the U.S. market.
MANY people LOVE the G8 and I was under the impression there was a possibility for G8 law enforcement and government fleet sales.

Please post in this thread to keep us updated on this situation and let us know what the community can do to save the Zeta sedan for the U.S. market.

Thank you for your continued support of this community.

UPDATE:
I believe the cosmetic changes to rebadge a currently produced US-spec Pontiac G8 as a Chevrolet using the cosmetics from the currently produced Lumina SS will have ZERO cost to GM.
Here is the Lumina SS.



I have quoted the info from a post below for reference to show the cosmetics are easily transferred and the cost is low for individuals and ZERO for GM.
