If it looks anything close to the rendering, I just may have myself another Aussie built four door on my hands as my daily driver.

Police Department in Peach Tree City GA drives a NEW "CAPRICE".

- from what I could see, it was an IRS rear wheel drive sedan with dual exhaust; very similiar to a Malibu profile with different front and rear flanks.

No pictures... shifting and driving and doing my best to stay behind him till he pulled off.

Caprice is much more similar to the current W-body Impala in terms of design.

The current Caprice police only ZETA is a G8 underneath. We can Pedderise them right now. The New SS will be on the Holden VF platform. Those details are not yet public.

Thats a Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle, been on sale (to police only) for about a year, year and a half now. As others have said, it has more in common with the G8 than it will the SS.

State troopers around here are rolling in them. Very cool to see them on the road.

The plans are for me to get my Camaro SS 1LE for 2013 to replace my '03 Blazer Xtreme and the wife gets the Chevy SS in 2014 to replace her '04 Impala SS. I'd say 10 years out of each vehicle with ZERO problems just tune ups and oil changes constitiutes getting your money's worth out of a pair of vehicles. That is going to be well over a quarter of a million miles out of the pair.

The length of time is definitely impressive, but I would expect a vehicle with that amount of mileage to still be running strong I took my 98 Toyota Avalon almost to a quarter mil by itself, and only traded it in because I wanted a new car, not because it was necessary.

They both run stronger than most (light mods on the SS heavy on the Blazer X) but I've long since been bored with both. It is purely a want to get new vehicles.

The more pics I get to see of the sprint cup SS makes it look more and more like this one found here.

If they learned that a performance sedan sells well in the g8 I can assure you that they will go with similar styling. Why can't they just re make the G8 with a bowtie on it?
