Too bad they couldn't figure out that police cars need column shifters, or better yet, push button shifters on the dash like the old Corvairs. I think that mistake is going to hurt sales big time.

V8 Version

I guess I'm in the minority but I the way it looks better than the G8. A nice set of wheels and a little tint and I think it will look damn good, not quite Impala SS, but close. The G8 always looked like it was trying to be something that it wasn't - a Pontiac. Same for the GTO.

Doesn't look to bad with those wheels, it's just so damn long! The rear looks like an Impala or something.

LOL typical GM blunder. Give us something they've had on the market for over 10 years with a slight makeover.

Thats the first thing I thought of when I opened this thread. Ho-Hum.

According to a LA Police test, it gets better mileage than a V6 Impala, Charger R/T or Crown Vic.

This is supposed to be a little bit plain looking. It's for the police, not civilians (yet?), and supposed to somewhat blend in when used for undercover cops so it has to look somewhat generic.

I agree they could have made it look a little spiffier for sure, but then, that might defeat the purpose if they make it too eye-catching.

You have to remember this thing has to appeal to everyone not just us go fast guys and as long as the base model sells then they will offer a more race inspired version if not then its gone all together, plus how many of us leave our cars stock anyways?

On a side note i think once you flip those manifolds and get rid of the air box a 76mm turbo would fit just right.

From what I understand, there are currently no plans to make this car available to consumers.
I kinda like it. It could use a manual and slight tweaks to the interior and exterior styling though.

why would you need all this? i live in Dubai. you see like trillion lumina and caprice ss a day. shipping export tail lights from my camaro would cost a 100$ that is 2 lbs you figure.
