Hard to say how the US market would have liked it. Most performance based trucks form lines at the dealers though, so I suspect the fact that it's not quite a normal "truck" by US standards wouldn't have hurt much.
I don't think GM has a clue what to do in the US these days. They are pushing cars like the Volt and proving that their vision for how much people would want it was flawed.

The Raptor is a nice off road truck. They are really the first ones to do it right. Most companies stick some skid plates and a slight lift on a truck and call it the "off road" edition.
There are several Raptors in this area. They need to do a blower motor version though. Better yet, but the big block blower motor in the new Lightning.

Car Alarm Systems: What You Have To Learn About Them
Alarm System Costs makes a difference. We all wanted to look for an Affordable Alarm Systems. But even though we wanted to stay away from the expensive types, it is never wise that we choose the cheapest brand.

My little brother has a 2009 Pontiac G8, and its a very nice car. My 2012 Mustang GT blows his doors off, but at least he's getting torched in style

If I remember well, that 2C Hyundai was basically put together from parts that was available, that's why sometimes it was a very interesting hybrid of various i20 evolutions.
