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.

I glad somebody had the good sense to keep the G8 platform around. Good news. But why a Caprice???? I'm guessing they're targeting it for massive fleet sales then. I was hoping it would become the new Impala, but I guess GM isn't ready to un-castrate that once proud name.

Dammit, beat me to it. I found a similar article on Autoweek

Oh well, GM will now be known as Geriatric Motors, can't make up their minds for shiz!

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.
