Gm really shot themselves in the foot getting rid of the caprice. every cop I know loved the caprice and hated their crown vics or marquis cars.
How much $ did gm lose with not sellling all those popo cars?
and I am sure that they could have just made a limited amount of camaro/trans ams instead of killing them. if you made a limited amount , possibly would be worth more and more desired since hard to get.
and obvouisly gm lost fbody sales to mustangs cause ford had them on the lot, so it was either a pos cobalt or a vette, no middle of the line.

Saab was Gm's way into Europe.
Caprice was a good car but with no retail outlet its a money loser.
The 4th Gen was not going to pass 2003 crash standards so that's why 2002 was its last year
I don't know of anyone that got rid of their 4th Gen and got a new mustang. GM didn't lose sales it never had. Mustang appealed to more people with the 05.
GM is sure doing a pretty good now that camaro is back. January marks 8 months of Camaro on top.
