So The G8 will revive under the Chevrolet brand?
I hope so because the G8 sounds awesome

Look at what I posted on the last page, to put this rumor to rest here. Here is what Hendrick is talking about.

Quote:2013 cars to be tested at Homestead: All four 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car models are scheduled to be tested at Homestead-Miami Speedway February 1st&in a test that will apparently be closed. That may be the first time crewmen get to see all four models. Why is NASCAR, and its big marketing operation, taking such seemingly a low-keyed approach? Apparently because the sanctioning body has not yet 'aero-matched' the four models in the wind tunnel. Ford is billing its new model as a Fusion (not Mustang, as once planned), and when the car maker officially unveiled its 2013 street version, it was then free to take the wraps off the NASCAR version  which is decidedly different from the current Sprint Cup model, the still controversial and not greatly liked by many car-of-tomorrow. Chevrolet, for example, still hasn't officially named its model for its 2013 NASCAR Cup racer.(MikeMulhern.net)(1-25-2012)

BAM! This rumor is put to rest.

Leave it to Doc.


Seriously tho.. I see no real reason with Chevy not offering the Caprice as a limited available civilian car in LTZ and SS form only. Holden would certainly be ecstatic over the opportunity and sales drive.

Hey, a man can dream.

I only wish they would offer the Grange here. But hopefully it would look more like the beautiful E1 or E2 models, they ruined the E3 with gaudy black plastic on the front end. The Grange and Senator were my favorite HSV's out of the bunch, now all HSV's look hideous to me (love the Series II interior though, and I still love everything below the sheetmetal).


You cannot tell me you wouldn't rock one of these Casa.

[Gixser995]

The Caprice is kind of bland in person. Interior's nice, though.

[docCarter]

With some nicer trim it can be shnazzied up, hell the whole front end can be changed up with almost no investment. The interior can just come straight from the Caprice or Calais.

Boner

[bojangles beast]

We can all hope but will believe it when I see it. Maybe we can get some spy shots from the test a few days ago.

[TaurusSHO]

Doesn't this confirm the SS model though? I know they wouldn't market the stock car as an SS for nothing.

[iDream Theater]

The G8 definitely looked way better than the original Holden version.

[docCarter]

I thought the G8 was uglier.

Had there been no stupid ass hood scoops I think I'd be in the same boat as you.

[iDream Theater]

I agree on that point, I wish you could have gotten the G8 without those as well. But even with them, the G8 was/is just plain a shexy car. :yeeees:

Buick was stupid not to take one of these as a Park Avenue. It wouldn't be in the lineup forever, but it would provide an immediate replacement for the Lucerne. Make it luxurious and make it absorb bumps, you have yourself a nice Buick.

I liked the hood scoops, but I agree the car probably would have looked better without them. You had three sets of double grills on the G8.
