I helped write this story.

Actually met the guy in person, took a bunch of photos, went for a ride. Great car.

I posted the article I did, which was really more of a massive photo post.

This one was written from an interview with the owner and some of my input.

It would be a nice police car however the interior is hideous and the wheels are ugly. Not a great personal vehicle imo.

The seats and wheels wouldn't be too hard to change.

I'd drive one..... Oh wait.

Not going to lie, I'd take one. It's like the Crown Vic's the state troopers use. Its got an old beat up exterior, but underneath it's got a reworked engine and a big list of suspension mods so she can keep up with the bad guys

Saw one at my local dealer when I was getting my oil changed. Its a pretty big body car.

looks like a bland G8....oh wait it is.

my question is when will it every be available with a manual trans?

not really. Its about a half size up from the G8/Commodore. Saying they're the same thing is like saying the Buick Regal & LaCrosse are the same thing too.

FenwickHockey65 · 08-12-2011, 11:37 PM

In fact I believe the only thing the Commodore and Caprice share exterior-wise are the front doors.

I'm sure they would have spiced it up a bit if they did release it to the general public, but c'mon... it's hard to believe the car company that designed the 5th Generation Camaro designed this very bland automobile. At least our Cops will be driving Chevys!!
