spunkyskier01 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I am sure most of you have seen this car by now, but for those of you who haven't here are some new pictures of the Chevrolet Caprice. Thank you Australia for another awesome Holden product! http://jalopnik.com/5373645/exclusive-the-...ice-car-is-back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatlord Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 That does look pretty bad-ass. But I think you might be in the wrong forum, there, buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter42 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Moved.. because I'm your favourite and you all love me I believe this has already been posted, however, your source has much more information and a video I still maintain that I don't like the car, even if it has an action video with squeling tires.Don't like the red on the lightbar either.

Guest madforce Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I believe this has already been posted, however, your source has much more information and a video I still maintain that I don't like the car, even if it has an action video with squeling tires.Don't like the red on the lightbar either.All I have to say is you'll change your mind once you drive the car. Take the Bland Chevy styling away, it is no Impala, some styling from that car is all it shares, I'd be pleased enough that its RWD.I have a Holden made GTO (Monaro) and it's a blast to drive and the Caprice is riding on a longer version of the next generation chassis by those same designers that is the backbone for the Holden Commodore and the new Chevy Camaro.And keep in mind, the "6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine rated at an estimated 355 HP and 384 lb-ft of torque" is de-tuned for economy. That same motor is what is sitting in the GTO and the Vette putting out 400/400 and is a huge step over the 3.8 V6.While they could have done better with the styling, get any thought of the Impala out of your head when you sit in the car.

hunter42 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Luckily I won't have to sit in one cause our constabulary use Vauxhalls and LDVs [/ignorance]I have to admit, the shape is kinda good after watching the video. It's probably a good car to replace the current ones. However, I think the lightbar is stupid and the red is too light, and that just ruins it.(I just deteste change and prefer the older ones - no matter how better the new ones are).

In the old Tahoe and Impala promo's there was a standard lightbar, but that's not what you see on most units. Down the road from where I live is a dealership that equips the PPV vehicles and they all come in slicktop, there's a field with about 50-60 cars for a handful of agencies at any one time and they fit them with the lightbars and other equipment and I swear no two agencies are alike.

dizza Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 <Removed incorrect statement>LAPD had tested the Impala's and hated them. Lack of performance and space were the big issues with them.-d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madforce Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 LAPD tried these and quickly dumped them. They actually hated this car.-dConsidering how the car isn't even in production yet, just pre-production for first delivery in 2011 might want to check those facts.

Guest madforce Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Why dont we just keep it in one topic?http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.php?showtopic=8403Tell it to the OP. Is it that much trouble to overlook it? So it was a topic a week ago, it was brought up again. This is the off topic section, does it really matter that much that someone didn't dig back a week to see if was old news or not? Of all the mindless threads in the Off Topic seeing a repost of a week old thread that had already fell to page 2 is your biggest concern?

Newfoundking Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi, clearly we can all point out that this topic already exists, on this forum a topic dead for a week, posting new info there is not a bad thing, that means good. A topic is considered dead and shouldn't be revived after a year of nothing-ness..Some forums don't want topic revivals after a week, this one does. SOOO basically, if you see a topic about your situation, post there.. Check to prevent double topics. If you don't don't expect your topic to hang around...The other one is still open and functioning, and this one will remain functioning and open IF you guys can behave and get back to topic, the next time this goes off topic about how it shouldn't be here, I'm gonna close it, and more than likely warn whoever did it.

Guest madforce Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I hope this car will start replacing Crown Vics, or make Ford hurry up and replace the Crown Vics.My understanding is the CV's replacement will be a modified FWD Taurus, which I'm sure is less than desirable.

Nor is it FWD. It a FR layout which you can read here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FR_layoutIts rear wheel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter42 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 You mean this?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_InterceptorHe means this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_TaurusFord has decided that 2011 will be the final year for the Crown Victoria, and is actively promoting a replacement based on the 2010 Ford Taurusdetroit newsI'm assuming the replacement "based on the 2010 Ford Taurus" is not the Interceptor. Or is the Interceptor the spin off of the 2010 Taurus?The Ford Interceptor looks better in my opinion. I can't tell if it's the camera angle or not, but the front looks unbelivably daft.Hi,Hi.

Guest dkmaisto Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 That Taurus looks a bit like the Mondeo that's on the european market.The Caprice are already in use as an aussie police car, they look ace, but it's going to be a handful with the RWD on icy roads.
