Big gas guzzling domestic tank. Yay.
GM could have at least made it attractive. It's boring looking but what's new. They will never make another 1996 Impala SS. That was one sweet tank!

This makes far more horsepower, will probably get better fuel economy, and will likely outhandle the '96 Impala SS. The SS was a great car in its own right, but car technology has advanced in 15 years.

Personal opinions. I think its nice that a big sedan is being offered again. I am only upset that its not offered to the public as a civilian car. GM does it again - stiffs the customers with cars they want, but wont sell them here... they are teasers. They sold the Pontiac G8 here, which is the same car on a shorter wheelbase, now that Pontiac is going out, why not simply make the Caprice on that assembly line? Whoever is at the helm at GM that makes these decisions needs to think hard about this.

What do you want the police to drive? The Crown Vic is being killed off, the Charger has some issues and the current Impala is FWD.

I do agree that it's a very ugly car though.

A 6.2 like the Camaro might be nice for highway pursuit vehicle... Still 355 ponies 384 ft/pounds torque should be ample, along with a traction control system.
Police versions of the Chargers have column shifters. That floor shifter on the Caprice will have to go.
