The idea is that he didnt want to take a car from a dead company and give it to a company that is still part of GM. Yes I know thats a weak excuse, but that was said today by Brent Dewar, VP of Chevy now.
The UAW doesnt want imported cars sold retail wise. Im sure that its a major reason why we wont see a civilian version. But this car is coming here because there will be a giant void in solid police vehicles, and the Charger nor Impala are apparently cutting it. The Caprice will not replace the Impala for the police, but be part of Chevy's offerings along with the Tahoe.

You just proved my point, thank you. You're sitting here arguing with me and r0nin saying there was no contract stipulation with the "new" GM as to why the G8 wasn't being imported over. Quoting ownership numbers and saying how the UAW only owns 20% of GM and stuff. The fact is that's the major reason the G8 is dead in any form/trim/nameplate. It sucks. You're right, the UAW wouldn't want the Caprice sold to retail wise, it'd be taking work from them. Regardless of who owns GM they can't just turn a blind eye to a contract clause. I wouldn't doubt that the UAW agreed to allow this cop car since it won't be a huge number of vehicles and is only being sold to a certain sector.
