    I love that color! Remember when I said a blue Challenger really caught my eye? That's what it looked like. Sweet.

    "Little Red Ridin Hood, you sure are lookin good..."

    That's not how it reads. DF is right, he posted this "news" before. In both cases, this "un-news" is attributed to a "person" or a "source" - in this case it also mentions a denial by the administration. So no, this is not confirmation of anything - it's just speculative filler and rumor.
  5. Camino LS6
    Agreed.
  6. Camino LS6
    Oh. I thought you were referring to the idea of a third party working with new parts. For the homebuilt version, a wrecked Ute and a wrecked G8 would suffice. A body in white would be a nicer solution but also be much more expensive. A big project either way.
  7. Camino LS6
    The devil would be in the details.
  8. Camino LS6
    The exact configuration would have to work for GMH on an assembly line - other parts would have to be shipped uninstalled.
  9. Camino LS6
    Certain interior parts would have to be Ute sourced, the rest could be standard G8 fare.
  10. Camino LS6
    That depends. G8 parts are "off the shelf" at this point, and should fit just fine on the Ute. A body in white might not be cost-effective. Ideally, a knockdown kit without RHD equiptment and a drivetrain would be a good starting point, I'd think.
  11. Camino LS6
    I never said that. The G3 and G5 are very wrong for Pontiac, and so would the Astra be. Less so, or moreso, doesn't really factor in. Wrong is wrong, no matter the degree of the wrongness.
  12. Camino LS6
    It will require very significant capital, but imagine the possibilities! Zeta alone has so much untapped potential. -Camaros to RHD markets -Chinese market Park Avenue to the US -expansion of the G8 line - Au LWB zeta... Those are the easier ones as they are engineered for both RHD and LHD, but the same process could apply for so many others worldwide. Yeah, I think a case could be made.

    It could be a backdoor way for GM to test models from other markets without major investment/responsibility if a third party was the responsible entity. It could be an expansion of what SLP used to do as a "second sticker" builder of specialty cars. If they were distributed through GM dealerships, I could see this sort of thing working. Fascinating idea.

    If a deal could be struck with GM, someone could likely make a go of it. GM support would make a world of difference. The DOT testing for the ST and the G8 sedan already take alot of the expense out of the idea, and a bulk purchase deal with GM would make it far more attractive. A very interesting idea, but it involves issues beyond my experience. That said, I'd love to see it happen and would love even more to be part of it.
  15. Camino LS6
    That is certainly do-able. A project I'd enjoy in fact, but not what I'd prefer. We shall see.
  16. Camino LS6
    It's sad really, here we have a number of models engineered to be either RHD or LHD from the start, and GM can't make it happen.
  17. Camino LS6
    No bubble burst, that's actually about what I expected. But I still hope that isn't the case.
  18. Camino LS6
    Interesting. Had you heard of them?
  19. Camino LS6
    Not a reflection on you, but on the authors and publishers.
  20. Camino LS6
    Duh. How could they not? This is not newsworthy.

    Here's a link to the thread in question: http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12067
  22. Camino LS6
    Thanks! Goes without saying that I am very interested in this idea. :AH-HA_wink:
  23. Camino LS6
    The company propsing to do the same in reverse for the G8 ST and wagon are calling themeselves GM Conversions on the G8 board. I wonder if they go by another name as they claim do do this sort of thing on GMNA models already. Can you shed any light on that, James?
  24. Camino LS6
    Ugh. I hope it is not a sedan, at least not exclusively. That would ruin it. Make a big splash with the coupe, then add a sedan for the boring people.
  25. Camino LS6
    I wouldn't be too surprised if GM eventually builds its own RHD Camaros, these companies are taking a bit of a risk on that front.
