My money is on FenwickHockey65. He got me straight awhile back on the difference between the Lacrosse and the new Impala. He apparently knows his stuff about GM cars.

Fen knows his stuff, many of will vouch for him. And i'd expect we will see the NASCAR version much sooner than that date OP. It won't look exactly the same as the production version, but it will give a real good sneak peak!

I thought it was kind of obvious that j rods post wasn't serious and probably even a shot at the kind of speculative nonsense the op normally makes threads about but maybe I was wrong.

I'm liking the Buick GS


but if this picture is any indication of the "chevy SS", then I will have to be biased to the Chevy.

There is a picture in the Motortrend magazine. Not guessing, just relaying what I saw in Motortrend mag at grocery store.They have a small story about it being the next choice for police cars. Check it out. There is never mention of Commodore,just Caprice.It kinda looks like the current Impala.

MotorTrend is full of sh*t 80% of the time. Government fleet/police departments already have Caprice available to them. What will be sold to retail is the VF Commodore, a completely different car.

First off, the Caprice up there? I know the guy who owns it. I've even ridden in it. He bought it through a loophole that's now been closed.

Second, Caprice and Commodore are nowhere near the same car.
