SO I've hitch hauled my super freak using my Nissan Frontier in both the BACK and the FRONT. Honestly, I don't really like doing it much. In the back, it seems to sag a bit and I can really feel it back there - not like pulling a trailer at all. It makes me nervous a bit hauling the ski like that in the back. On top of that I've pulled a trailer behind the hitch as well which is even a bit worse.
But then in the FRONT is a different story all-together. I guess the frontier has a pretty beefed up front suspension because I can't feel the ski at all up there - though I'm nervous someone is going to swerve into my ski and cause a fiberglass explosion on impact.
Go figure.
Look at a Subaru Baja. Its got a small 3.5' bed and its a car with awd. You might fit a ski diagonally alright. The newer ones had option for the WRX turbo engine. Its an all-season tank thats low to the ground, small like a Subaru impreza (Honda Civic/Accord), which also seats 5... if you can get past its ugly.

I had a subaru baja and loved it my stand up fitted easily and the little truck still got 25 mpgs. Hard to find and expensive nowadays.

Don't worry it's dead now....
You're financial crisis caused all the manufacturers to focus on the domestic market. That along with some other issues killed our local car industry. So now all we get are rebaged chevys and fords.
Shame as we had some great cars.
The sedan version of the commodore ute was your Pontiac G8. And I think last generation SS.
The ford falcon was similar. The turbo straight 6 was pretty good.
these now take up the position of the ute.
(Pictures are of the race versions because it's more amusing)

You're moving to Kalifornia.... Don't expect C.A.R.B. to let you do something fun like that.
(Something something I hate all the rules a regulations the CA imposes on our fun.)

But they still let us play on our 2 stroke smog machines, right??

Yes you are safe for now. Ocean is fine and a lot of the lakes, if you pay the muscle fee, that will be local to you (Castaic, Pyramid, Elsinore, Perris). The 2 stroke thing was a Federal EPA issue. Means no Lake Powell, Mead, and Mohave.
