i bet that the caprice wont make huge fleet sales.
may police departments already have chargers but honestly not in the numbers you'd expect to have them be the crown vics replacements.
ill bet for swoops in last minute to steal this market again.

Hasn't the Crown Vic already been discontinued? Is the new Taurus supposed to be its replacement?

Good Sense and GM...now there is an OXYmoron. That being said...why question the fact they're bring the G8 over as a Caprice?? It's GM they don't need a reason..

Ha! Talk about rollercoaster of emotions!

I saw the thread title and I got excited, only to have my hopes dashed after reading about three posts!

It would have been cool... seems like a tremendous waste of a great platform.
