The G8 returns?... Well reading the new Car and Driver, looks like GM is going to bring back the G8. Only with chevy badges this time. Looks like Holden is going to lose business as Australias economy doing better, it makes shipping the vehicles to the states quite pricey...
I'm a huge fan of the G8. And am very interested in this, but there wasn't any production dates listed. Just that it'll be a chevy and based off the new Caprices frame.

Haven't read the latest C&D, either, so maybe they have some new info.

Well the Caprice will be police only, prob for the first few years before offering to consumers. I believe they come out next year. I've kind of been keeping an eye on the Caprice since I owned both: 94 caprice with the 305ci and a 95 with th LT1 (stolen last year). I'm a huge fan of the big bodies aka slabs lol.
Ok, well I'm just all around stoked on GM right now. Just sold a lot of stock to get rid of debt. And now bringing back the G8 as a chevy just wettens my dreams...

Dammit I knew someone would ask for a pic. I was at the bodyshop and was browsing thru it... Roommates gf backed into my z28 the other day (it's first body damage). And by the time I finished reading it, the collision guy was ready to go look at my car. But it's out there folks.

And funny comment about SSHawk lol. It's all good, I think some guys on the forum both have sex and goof off in the Texas section.......at the same time!!!
Old news. The Caprice is actually a longer chassis like the Holden Statesman. The G8 is based off of the Commodore.
Search for Holden Caprice to see what one looks like. I doubt GM will change it much.
