There wasn't much opposition to a Caprice, at least not this Caprice. Re-badging the G8 as a Chevy did have some strong opposition. In the days after bankruptcy, they canned the idea because of the bad reputation for badge engineering. This Caprice is bigger and there is a stronger business case for selling it to police than to consumers, its also quicker to bring them to market this way.
