Have you heard any other info or rumors above and beyond what this article is talking about?

This would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

they should make a v8 option, possibly supercharged :twisted:

pretty good looking plain jane car from that car, i could be into it.

Interesting. I do remember reading that it had been confirmed many months ago that it the caprice will be built again but as a fleet vehicle.

yea 2011 caprice police package... :drool:

aww, I expected this thread to be about something new :(

It is new. The rumors of Holdens being sold as Chevys to the public is new. The police package Caprice was never going to be sold to the public as a new model.

They have been talking about this on and off since they killed the G8. Seen several articles about it.

this is the first I heard from a GM official at least.

Yup, that's why I posted up...plus Al was out there so I was just curious he knew/heard anything.

Bob Lutz commented but didn't confirm on this old news months ago

....and Fritz also told Lutz to have a tall glass of STFU the day after that comment was made....the G8 rebadge was killed after that.

are we sure it wasn't Al himself who made that comment and mistakenly got quoted as a GM exec?

Good point, must google for further information....:D

Annnnd Fritz got the ole' boot, and the Chevy SS as it is known internally will arrive here.

At GMI, we got confirmation of a Zeta Chevy to come to shores in teh 2012-2013 model year, a year after the revised Holdens made it through. Right now, Holden is getting a revised model, VE2. The new interior is built to pass US Regs for nav screen hight, so we can have the nav system as well.

The guy quoted, Al Oppenheiser, is the Chief Engineer for Camaro FYI....

I know Fritz got the boot, I was just adding more info about Lutz's comment that were made months and months ago...bascially Lutz's comments at the time were irrelevant.

Nice, a Zeta platform Holden needs to get over here.

I'll have to google some pics of the VE2

Yeah, our Aussie guys got to drive the VE2 cars around at the presser, and I think one of them has a Redline model right now.
So we will have TWO Holden cars, the SWB sedan for retail, the LWB for police fleet.

hahahaha

Chevelle?

nah, chevelle was the camaro concept. see fanboiii's gminsidenews thread or facebook.

I saw some patent drawings of the upcoming Malibu, so it isn't that. Bel Air?

Citation?
Chevette?

As of right now, it has no name. Its known internally as Chevy SS sedan. Anyone that knows of a name is pure speculation at this point.
It would be logical that it would go with a classical name. If they go with Chevelle, there will be a ton of butt-hurt people who think that the Chevelle only came in 2 doors, a 454, a 4spd manual, and a 12 bolt rear.
