I read online that they are going to convert the G8 in the Chevy Caprice in 2011.

It a Buick GNX concept car. Cause as we all know buick is the onlt halfway decent car moniker GM's got left, we lost Olds and now Pontiac....

That Buick is a sick ride! Auto makers are always changing cars names and GM has had their share look at what they did to the NOVA! But at least the G8 is stickin around its a pretty sweet ride.

Actually it's not a rumor, but it might has well be, because the Caprice will be available for fleets only.
GM hopes to use the Zeta platform Caprice to replace the Crown Vic as the next Police Interceptor.

I also heard about the G8 becoming Police cars, supposedly in 2011-or so I was told. G8's are a nice ride, not to mention a beautiful one as well.

theyre run pretty hard, but if you buy it from the highway patrol, those cars run great. the engines are rebuilt every 50-75k miles, and of course theyre fairly well taken care of.

then again, the only thing i can think of that i wouldnt like about that is.... automatic. if im driving a car with that much power under the hood, i want to do my own shifting. :)

nevermind! it wouldnt be totally terrible with the tapshift transmission, but im sure some will be put off from the lack of a manual for that cheap as a retired cop car.

Is it true that they will be converting the G8 in the Chevy Caprice in 2011.It sounds great and i am sure the car will also look great.

Because GM is a bunch of idiots. Case and Point.

Daewoo; everyone shudders when the name is brought up because of cheap small cars that are tasteless and well gay. Why doesn't GM bring over this Daewoo and change people's minds?

Daewoo Veritas (S. Korea)

Look slightly familiar? Yeah, well that's because it's on the same platform as the G8/Commodore/Caprice. I think it would do pretty well in the US.
