Looks like " new " GM made there first correct decision. They will import G8'

s and now call them Chevrolet Caprice. Not sure if the V8 will live on but good news none the less

The next time we will see what´s going on...

Wouldn't Chevelle be a better name.

Then they might fulfill the plans of the UTE pickup and call it a El Camino.

Yeah, I think Chevelle would be a much better name

Or look at here:

The real - one and only - Frysler Viper

If the brass were thinking at all, they would have built a 2 and 4 door Chevelle instead of the Camaro. In one model, you have the retro car, the muscle car, and a 4 door for those who want it. There would be room to seat five and there would be no need for the G8 which isn't breaking any sales records any way. There have to be a lot of cost saving in this idea.

Turned in the wifes 06 CTS and bought her a G8 a couple of months ago. A really solid car and so far no problems. We just returned from a road trip out east to Maine and Mass and averaged almost 27mpg with the V6. Not too bad for a 4000lb car.

I hope it will look better than this.

That looks like the Holden Caprice, probably why they keep the name. The Holden Caprice isn't really the G8 which used to be based on the Holden Commodore SS.

BTW Holden makes cool cars.

-----I like that more-door

. Is it because it isnt retro looking that you arent a fan??? It looks like it would generate good wind cheating ability and that seems to be of paramount importance any more.......Bill S
