I will say that having had the Chevy Caprice (Mid East version) home a couple of years ago, that back seat is HUUUUUUUUGE. I could cross my legs and not touch the back of the front seat.

And speaking of the back seat..... Fen, we should start a thread on all the things you can do to get ride in a PPV. That's likely the closest you'll get until they go up for auction.

Haha do it.

The speedometer in my Envoy goes to 120. The possibilities are endless.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see it at a dealership.

well i think the taurus actually looks kinda good. this new caprice looks just like the rest of the holdens. they all look the same. dont get me wrong, in styling i believe less is more. but damn make the car look a little bit better. lol looks like from the early 2000's. my 2 cents. like the gto is kinda boring looking. i loved that car when it came out tho and still do. the g8 was a bit better too. but not by much. atleast they have some decent interiors.

I like the idea of a Chevy version of the G8....but I'm not feeling this stretched out and blandly styled example.

IF it goes on sale, dont screw me over like GM did with pontiac...i DONT want to have to pay 40k to get a car with a stick.... they should have definitely offered the G8GT with a stick cause i would be driving that right now instead of a mustang

well i would love to see a chevy Caprice, but that design does not do it for me.
it needs to have more of a aggressive stance, and more lines


basically a g8 but a Chevy badge on it

What's posted up top is a police version of the car. Any civilian model would be dressed up substantially.
