Same as the GTO being the Lumina SS in the middle east previously.

Yes..... the Chevrolet Lumina IS the Pontiac G8's sister car.
No..... it won't be available at your local Chevrolet dealer anytime in the forseeable future.
1. This car is for sale in the Middle East.
2. Our Chevrolet "Zeta" will have a different skin and interior.

The "caprice" they have in the middle east is one sweet looking ride too!

You know... I actually like that. A lot.
This is almost getting silly now. I'm as big a Pontiac supporter as you'll see, but why are they still around? There is no product they sell (or in the pipeline it seems) that couldn't be a Chevy or a Saturn. That foreign market "Lumina" should be here on the streets right now.
How much did it cost GM to dump Olds again? How much is it costing GM to keep Pontiac afloat by throwing slow selling, badge engineered products (Solstice excepted) at them? How much better could the other divisions be with Pontiac's slice of the pie gone from GM's budget?
And for the record, I think Buick should go as well for the same reason.

Actually, the Solstice "concept" was a cobbled up J-car (Cavalier), with a bunch of off the shelf parts to convert it to RWD. Kappa as we know it, wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye when the concept was unveiled.
