    I thought they were atleast assembled here. I know where they were designed.

    I agree...the G8 GT/GXP is a hit, just leave everything alone on the car and change the badges from Pontiac to Chevrolet. Easy.

    No....make the chevy version look blah! The masses will buy them (duh...it'd be a chevy), and my car will remain RARE! (okay...30,000 isn't exactly rare, but considering that over 250,000 Camry's are sold anually...it's a hell of a lot less.)

    G8 is a great car and it should either be a replacement for the current Impala, or brought back as a Grand National. When I think of the word "Caprice" - the first thing that comes to my mind is a 4 door landbarge with whitewall tires, fender skirts and a vinyl roof.
