why do you need a police car, user? are you compensating for something?

>tfw you will probably never see a rwd sedan from GM again after the SS runs its course
Fuck you chevy! Just sell the commodore with the 2.0t and 3.6 V6. Don't let the rwd sedan die!
Owen Wright
I don't want the police car I just want the car with a normal paintjob.
It's like owning a crown vic.
Camden Martin
Isn't the SS the same car, only with more modern bumpers and interior?

I assume because that was the only other 4-door Zeta plant. there was another plant in Canada that built Zeta cars (camaro) but that is a 2-door.
>why is it only a police vehicle
It was meant to be a fleet-only vehicle. Picture related is what you will recognize as the "Impala" that rode on the W-body platform before it switched to Epsilon II platform. The W-body is still being sold (i think) along side the new Impala but you probably don't see them on dealerships new anymore because their sold as Fleet-only like the Caprice.
They very-well could've sold this to civilians but i guess they figured it'd be a waste of time as people probably wouldn't pay extra to buy what was basically a more expensive mid-size Sedan than the W-body impala. From what i heard Police like them but the problem is that they aren't made here and are more expensive to buy/repair than the standard Charger/Crown vics that are made here and replacement parts exist by the millions.
They could've built them in the same plant as the Camaro i guess to make things cheaper and easier and probably would've warranted selling to Civilians as an actual dressed up car with some decent luxury features otherwise i think these were mostly bare-bones with cloth-only seats and less creature comforts than the W-body cars or even the Crown Vic.

What is almost every single car made my Cadillac for 500, Trebec?
William Rivera
should have said chevy instead of GM, my bad
Daniel Barnes
There's no way you're that much of a badgewhore to ignore the CTS/ATS (the best sedan from a US manufacturer) because they say Cadillac instead of Chevy, when they are owned by the company
Owen Kelly
its not being a badge whore. I'm just not a huge fan of the styling of the ATS or CTS
Robert Lewis
who gives a shit about the styling? the mere fact that the Alpha platform exists should be enough
Andrew Walker
GM is too busy moving our plant to fucking mexico. why would they bring more vehicle assembly there?
once the truck plant shut down the only thing they really make there are the camaros and i think the equinox.

Hah in Australia the caprice is a luxury limousine based of the SS

Hudson Ward
WH caprice/statesman ??
Juan Turner
So they can sell the SS and ATS/CTS
im also mad theyre doing this, id be happy with a 35K LS3 big sedan, but now I have to wait till the SS's lose value next year
Sebastian Howard
It's actually based off the Calais, not the ss.
You can get a v6 caprice
Dylan Hill
Nah the baby version
Calais which is just a SWB version
Wish i had the bigger/better LS but the old 225 gen 3 is gud

You too could have a grand tourer, muscle car, sports car and skid machine all in one if you lived in Straya...
Dominic Watson
And a commercial load carrier!
Thomas Mitchell
If only in murica. settled with an el camino.
Gabriel Hall
Isn't the Calais just a tarted-up Commodore?
The Caprice and Statesman were models with a longer wheelbase.

You rang?

Buy a Chevrolet SS before they stop making it because people like you never bought it.
Joseph Thomas
The fuck? I could've sworn I saw one a few weeks back it was a police car from another county driving through. I didn't know what it was, well i knew it wad a chevy but i never seen that particular one before, but it looked JUST like that. I'm from the US.
Hudson Cooper
The VT with the light bar ??
Sebastian Wood
They're sold in America as the Chevrolet Caprice PPV. PPV stands for Police Patrol Vehicle, so that should tell you the only people allowed to buy them.
They're RWD, based on the Zeta platform, and engines are either a 300 HP 3.6L V6 or a 370 HP 6.0L V8. The cars are built in Australia where it's been known as the Holden Caprice for years.
Henry Williams
That's a funny looking Ford.
Hunter Torres
What car is that? An exterior with simple clean lines.
Austin Lopez
