Uh... GM? This is dangerously close to what an Impala SS is supposed to be.
Sex this thing up a bit and sell it with as an Impala SS!
What the fashionable detective will be driving this fall         By Jeff Glucker Posted Jul 27th 2011 2:33PM 153 Comments52 Anybody can buy a cop car. The roadway is littered with clapped-out Chevrolet Caprice cruisers that cause motorists to instinctively to slam on the brakes while the driver rolls smugly on by. Not everybody can pick up a brand-new 2011 Chevrolet Caprice cop car, however, but a few dealers actually have them in stock. A reader (Thanks, Manzer!) managed to spy one wearing the Detective Package guise – complete with tinted windows – and sent in a few pics of the updated Caprice parked at in a nearby lot. While we are sad because it reminds of the gone-too-soon Pontiac G8, we're happy that we might someday be able to pick up a used one for far less than the nearly $32,000 price tag these command when new. What do you get for all that coin? Well the average Joe Citizen gets exactly nothing, since you can't officially buy one since General Motors closed a contractual loophole with its dealers that saw a few examples selling to civilian buyers. Johnny Law, however, gets lights hidden in the front grille and rear window, a modest cloth interior and Police Performance mode as part of the Stabilitrak system. The best part lies under the hood, though, as this cruiser comes equipped with a 6.0-liter V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. Do you happen to wear a badge and desire a new ride to stop the baddies? Check out the listings at Jim Ellis Chevrolet in Atlanta, Georgia for a few options to put on your shopping list. |

it's got a v8, but it's a fairly plain design.

 That is why I threw in the part about sexing it up first.

Honestly if I had the chance to buy one, I'd convert it back into a Holden.
