BREAKING: Lutz says Pontiac G8 to survive as Chevy Caprice in U.S.; Camaro Z28 reportedly dead {Autoblog}

clearly you didn't read my earlier comment where i said exactly that.
this comment was inadvertantly posted as a standalone comment, it was meant as a direct reply but sometimes my browser does stupid things.
i'm aware this is an older, tamer middle-east design.
i made the point myself that an american version would have to be more aggressive.

this type of car fits Chevy's brand identity better than Buicks (here in the US anyway)
granted, it would save a lot of money to simply import the version sold in China (Park Avenue) but the styling of that car is just as tame and uninteresting to the american buyer as the above caprice.

um... the Taurus SHO costs $10,000 more than.. what exactly? i don't see a price discussed above.
if we assume prices of the future Caprice will be along the lines of the current G8, then prices are competitive with the Taurus.
the pontiac starts at 28,250 while the Taurus starts at 25,995
the GXP starts at 37,610 while the SHO starts at 36,995
so i fail to see how there would be a 10,000 dollar difference if it were branded as a chevy.
and besides i was speaking of looks alone and based on that, the SHO expresses much more attitude as compared to the tame looking Caprice.
which is why i said i expected it to receive a face lift in order to make it competitive in our market.
sheesh!

Jul 11th 2009 12:36PM it is a great idea. if this is true, GM has potential to have a huge hit on their hands. however, i hope they plan on giving it a bit of a facelift.
as the article clearly states, the vehicle pictured is the current middle-east spec caprice. i would imagine, especially with Lutz around, that the American version will get a little beefed up. this car will compete with the likes of the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus. as it looks, this caprice will have its lunch eaten by the Taurus SHO. personally, i believe the American spec caprice will be injected with a little more excitement before its ready for our muscle-car obsessed buyers.
