How about this: Remember the old Caprice and Impala from '95?
Play it again, GM. Play it again.
Low numbers SS Impala while they axe the FWD fam sedan. Fleet sales of the Caprice to Police and Government. Maybe those that want the Caprice again too..
Malibu takes over as the primo Family Sedan for Chevrolet. Dunno why they can't make that work even with the projected numbers it's going to sell. If it's been said before, I'm sorry. But I think if Lutz has this in mind he could be right and make GM some money off missing fleet sales of police interceptors that Ford has gobbled up and Chrysler started edging into with the Chargers after the Caprice died in the 90s.
From what I recall some departments still overhaul and cannibalize their Caprices because they're good cars and can't stand to get rid of them..
