Would I like to see a Chevy version of the G8? BOY HOWDY!!!!

Just wanted to ask...
Is it possible the G8's sales aren't as good as the Impala's because of the fact that it's an unfamiliar nameplate? Impala has more recognition than G8.
And if we just took a G8, slapped a twin-port grille/Chevy badge on it, that would meet US crash-test specs. Stick the Camaro's V6 in there and it would be pretty fuel efficient as well.
