Don't know how old that video is, but im like 95% sure that in just the past month or so GM officially announced it was cancelling its plans for the G8 to live on as a new caprice model. They had originally planned on keeping production going by rebadging the car, but Bob Lutz announced that marketing-wise and financially it wasn't a good idea and they were canceling it.

Kinda sucks, since with Pontiac dying off in 2010 the G8 dies with it... the G8 GT was a pretty awesome car, if you've ever gotten a chance to drive one... sad to see it go.

Way to take a great looking car (the g8) and screw it up cause that thing is pain ugly and bland, may perform well but it looks like @ss, just my 2c

Actualy it is not a G8 its off the platform that the camaro is on and the CTS
based on the Caprice that is sold in the Middle East, not a Holden Product.
will be made in North America. So not a G8

Forget it.

Get the new Carbon motors police car. Built in the USA!

 

[xcessiv6]

Carbon motors will never see the light of day, another get the goverment money and run. They were supposed to be built in Connersville Indiania, but when I drove by does not look like anything is going on.

yeah departments wont fork out that kind of money ,perfect car but wont happen , I thought Chevy was made in the USA?Are they making them in Japan now ?lol

The Caprice will be made in australia - it is a Holden design with the same underpinnings as the G8 and the camaro - the car will be made in the Holden facility in Adelaide - there actually is a real nice looking rear wheel drive buick based off that platform , if i remember correctly its called a park avenue , it is released in for the chinese market. ill have to look it up to see if it is sold anywhere else
