I know what I'm buying when they are retired...
.. the Chevrolet Caprice PPV... Australian-built RWD Caprice.. so basically a beefed up and stretched Holden.
It's as big as a Crown Vic and faster than a Camaro with it's V8 Pursuit package.
I'm sure Gwinnett Co is getting it... now I have to memorize a new set of headlights.

I like it. a used undercover model would make a great highway car. nearly same wheelbase as a JZX100 Mark II.

Re: I know what I'm buying when they are retired...
I think it's a lot bigger.. the wheelbase alone is nearly 5" longer than the G8.HATERDAN wrote:so its a G8 with mini van headlights?

you are correct sir. They're thinking of bringing the G8 back with the Holden bumpers, just rebadging it and possibly calling it a Chevelle.
unhinged......no, not really.

Re: I know what I'm buying when they are retired...
the g8 gxp should never have been taken out of production...yea i know pontiac went under......but somebody should have picked it up and
rebadged it........i seriously hope it does come back as a chevelle or something (as long as they dont go changing its awesomeness under the hood
and the suspension). that car is the perfect starting point for a competitive drift car. nice and burly!

Was looking at the G8 GXP and the 04-05 Cadillac CTS-V before I got the BMW...
The G8 was next to impossible to find in manual and people wanted crack money for it..
The caddy was still hard to find.. I couldn't find one to test drive.. and the interior is the sucks.
Affordable though. $14-20k if you could find one nearby.
Then I thought about an E39 M5.. and then I looked at maintenance and thought again.
