Default 2010 6.0L RWD Caprice - Police Only

I was reading through a car magazine at the doctor's office today and came across a small article and picture of a 2010 RWD Chevy Caprice strictly for Police use only. They said it has RWD and a 6.0L 355hp/384tq V8...Is this only new news to me? I didn't even know Chevy was making the Caprice again - sort of looked like a long Impala to me.

I also found an ARAB video on YouTube with some crazy drifting in RWD Chevy of some sort - I see a bowtie on the steering wheel:

New to you, sorry.

The Zeta platform is the G8, the Commodore, the Lumina, and whatever they call the Vauxhall version.

The new Caprice is based off the Statesman which is a little longer wheelbase.

Photoshop with Malibu frontend.

Yes, Chevrotlet will be getting a replacement for the old and bland Impala. It will most likely be the LWB Police Caprice vehicle minus the V8. It'll also probably get new sheet metal akin* to the Camaro.

*No, it will not look like the Camaro. It will just get its own design and not resemble the other Global Rear Wheel Drive vehicles.

Just like the El Caminos we don't get. They was gonna sell it as a Pontiac, but they scrapped it when GM went down.
