It's the Caprice, so far it's only gonna be police issue. Also it's the Statesmen, not a Commodore like a G8.

GM has some nice cars with big power plants over in the middle east like this Caprice and also on the Lumina. Why won't GM produce those cars here in the U.S. ?

Most Euro-spec cars are nicer... I guess they think the market isn't right for them here, since they don't look bland and don't get 40+ mpg...

Lumina is the Commodore.

They should bring both over, the Statesmen as the Caprice, for both public and official use, and the Commodore back as the Impala. The Coupe 60 could be the Monte Carlo, too.

What then? I said Monte 'cause recently they're just Impalas with two doors.

Maybe not that exact car, but that look.

I think they all look too much like the G8 to be called any other car.

Agreed they look like the G8 and the coupe 60 looks more like a pony car than the Monte should.

Since the Commodore was imported as the Pontiac G8, and the Statesman is basically a lwb, larger Commodore, all I see here is a Pontiac, not a Chevy.

On ther other hand, I welcome all new GM RWD entries, so bring it on!
