Cordell Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not surprising really, considering they've been making the police cars for about a year and the Impala is really outdated. The rumor about using the G8 platform has been around for a while too. Thats good, wifey will have to drive one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Great. Just when Pontiac was making some interesting cars they had to go and die. We need more V8 RWD platforms, possibly with a manual option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 That car looks boring. Probably fun to drive though once you turn off all the traction control doohickies though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 cool concept, but did anyone else see a mazda front end in that pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQdDude Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 The Chevy SS? Isn't SS a branding, not a model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yeah it'll be a big facepalm if they call it that.. especially if there's a v6 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 cool concept, but did anyone else see a mazda front end in that pic? LOL, That pic is of a Holden / Vauxhall that's been in production since 2006, which the G8 and Caprice cop cars are based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Looking forward to these, maybe they'll bring the Ute. Horsepower wars are really coming back lately it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 isnt that the car pontiac used to make the gto? Not exactly, the GTO was based off the Holden Monaro, this is like the G8 which is based off the Commadore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent1976 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It looks like a G8 with rounded corners to me. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I agree that it looks boring and dated. But then GM is still selling the Trailblazer that's essentially unchanged sine 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaewsky1 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I missed out on the G8GT so this may be something to look at. I was really close to a Charger RT so I'll have to cross shop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 That car has been available back in the homeland (South Africa) for the last like 10 years. There it is called the Lumina SS and it's also available as a UTE.

TTQ B4U Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Dick.. yes the truth somewhat offended me. Meh....just my opinion.
