Now that is some good news, Maybe they can go back to RWD cop cars.
Any word on the future of the Solstice/Sky platform.

Logical step...it's sold in Middle Eastern markets as the Caprice, and the previous iterations looked damn good.

Bob Lutz is precisely the wrong person at the wrong time, an example of exactly what is wrong with the old boy thinking permeating Detroit to this day. Take your retirement and get your fishing pole Lutz, more of the same at GM won't cut it anymore.

Why not dig up John DeLorean, who's best-known contribution to Pontiac was the GTO and call it Weekend at John's, take his body on tour to burned out GM dealers to explain how to build muscle cars again.

yes , why the hell would they want to make money ?
in other news , the all new caprice will only be available with the 1.8 ecotec and a cvt hybrid
the foreign markets will get a 9 litre LSX making 900 hp - the 9 for 9

Re: Lutz Says: G8 to become Chevy Caprice

Perhaps they'll bring the production back onshore to sell them as cop cars .... most government fleets can only buy foreign if there is no comparable product (don't get me started on them buy toyotas).... I do know that the chevelle would need to be built in whatever plant that they built them in before - which is the same deal that was made between GM and the union regarding the the camaro when GM killed it. Was a wise bet on the union's part.
