Because the G8 sedan was introduced at a horrible time with engines that weren't so fuel efficient. GM could see that, but there was little they could do except make sure that they got the most out of importing the sedan as they could. Plus, the decision to scrap Pontiac as a whole was made far before many people believe.
Today we have a 323 HP LFX engine that does 30 MPG. That wasn't around when GM got the idea to import the Commodore and its variants to the states.
I'm not the only one who sees this as a possible new segment. Mark Reuss was quoted just last week saying that this might be a good idea.
