Not really. It would cost GM too much money to move and retool the Impala factory which they can't afford atm and they already have plans on the 2010 MY and I doubt they will be out of the predicament in time to achieve this for the 2011 MY. If they wait much longer then the G8 becomes outdated body style and is less likely to sell.

Personally I would like to see the Solstice/Sky done as a Chevy. It just doesn't fit the image of a Caddy imo.
