Default New Caprice Police Cruiser on Zeta Platform.

Sorry if this is a repost. Looks like GM will release a longer zeta platform car badged as a Caprice. It will be just for the police force, but that could change if there is enough interest I suppose.

Discuss.

Thumbs up

Hmm, so maybe the 'G8 line rebadged as Chevrolet models' isn't quite dead just yet, nice.

This is awesome...and a great idea. If they do offer them to the general public it may be cheaper than the G8....and of course many will be in line to get the used up cop cars dirt cheap. Now if they'll just make some manual equiped police cruisers, I'll jump in line.

Haha, would love to have that to be honest... would be brilliant especially if you could change the sound on the engine horn to a siren.
