Chevrolet Caprice coming back to the States as a crime fighter!
This coming Spring, detectives will have a new choice when it comes to available pursuit vehicles. General Motors has just announced that the Chevrolet Caprice police vehicle will be on sale April 2011. The full blown police package won’t be available until June 2011, but I’m sure it will be worth the wait. Check out the video and let us know what you think in the comments!
Autoblog compares the 4 vehicles cops can chose from today and tomorrow
The most common car used by the fuzz is the Ford Crown Victoria. They are everywhere on the roads today, however, that car is on a platform that is close to twice my age. So law enforcement has been looking for a replacement for years and now it appears that the competition for their business is heating up. The one car currently on the road is the Dodge Charger. The up and coming contenders are the Chevrolet Caprice and the new Ford Police Interceptor. Well the gang at Autoblog has put together a comparison chart to see how the 4 police prepped vehicles stack up against one another. For more details, head on over to Autoblog.

Could the Holden Commodore-based Chevy Caprice be sold here to the public?
We have all heard that GM will begin selling a law enforcement version of the foreign market Chevrolet Caprice here in the next few years but sadly they have stated there will be no public offering of this vehicle. Well according to Bob Lutz, there is a chance we might see a civilian version of the Caprice as a “high-end Chevrolet.” Interesting! Lutz also goes on to say that the vehicle would be thought of as a “four-door Corvette.” Nice! Please do! For more, head on over to Autoblog. Or read what the Aussies have to say on the matter here.
