It will cost GM nothing.
They already make the G8 nose
They already make the Ute
They are already exporting the G8 to the US
A few thousand of these things, V8 only, and if dealers treat it right....
As Bob Lutz said "Its like a Camaro that can hold 2 dirt bikes"

And I CLEARLY remember back in 2002 or 2001 when Hot Rod had a massive 5-6 page spread about the Holden Ute, a RWD, 6spd, LS1 powerd pick up for the masses, they were flooded with mail begging to bring this here.
But then again, everyone loved the Monaro on Hot Rod too, even Hot Rod. When they put those 3 little letters on there, everyones tune changed though.
