Any chance GM will Re-Badge G8? As the title says. It would make sense to me for them to re-badge the G8 to a chevy something or other. Maybe a Caprice or Lumina???

WTF?? come on, now a Caprice is a "big body" and a Lumina is just a basic model chevy. I was thinking maybe Impala/Impala SS, Comodore, or a whole new name all together.
Anyway, I def HOPE it is continued here in America for at least a couple years. . .

Many things are already depleted...
You can't get many bolts, seat covers, interior panels, window switch plates, seat belt webbing, , ect.
There are a ton of parts you can't get anymore.
The Holden Commodore has been made for a couple of years so there are parts out there plus GM has to supply parts for the year for X many years by law.

What, nobody wants to call it a 4-door Vega? OK that's a bad joke 
I would love a G8 or whatever it gets called one day if they continue it.
A GXP would be a bad *** baby hauler. My camaro can't handle 2 baby seats...

I was just trying to name a few 4 door sedans. I doubt they will call it the impala. I could care less about the name just as long as they continue to make the car.

I could see them rebadging as a Chevelle SS, or Malibu SS, something of that nature. Or, if Buick does take it over, I could see them badging it as a Skylark GS, GN, or Regal of some sort.
I don't really care. This is the first car I have actually been excited to see produced. All others are pretty much "ho hum" but I DO like the G8 and all it has to offer.

You are right and I did forget about the commodore, but it is just a bad deal with Pontiac going out. I really hope the G8 will be rebadged under another name. I Would rather one of them over a new Camaro.
