k should work now sorry about that

I have to say, I think I would absolutely enjoy driving that. No doubt in my mind at all. But it looks just like a malibu...

yea its even rear wheel drive would be fun as hell

When they start hitting the auctions/used car lots, I will have one. Big V8, RWD, plain sheetmetal... hell yeah! I have seen one of these in Kentucky, I loved it.

I'm not looking forward to the replacement version that will be available to the public. Modern car styles tend to suck. And there's supposed to be a new Impala for '14 (that's uglier than a mud fence), but for some reason it will still be a FWD car.

I saw a non-PPV Caprice yesterday...If you've got a dealer that will work with you, you can get one.

Non-PPV, or 9C-3? Wouldn't the 9C-3 look like a civilian vehicle?

All the cops around here already have these I'd like to put my v1 supercharger on one of them.

All it is, is a re-badged Holden Statesman. All GM is doing for cars, is bringing the Aussie stuff over, and adding a bowtie...just like the Holden Monaro/GTO.

It may have been a 9C3. The guy bought it from a Chevy dealer in Dallas that got it for him.

Yep, but it looks good and it's GM power. The Holden stuff is much closer to what GM used to be here, IMHO.

Sure did!

No 6.0 but I'm hanging onto my 95 SS, been in the family for 17 years and still going strong.
