 From the Consumer Reports website:

This afternoon, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz in a Web chat wrote:


The G8 has finally been discovered by a broader percentage of the buying public. The owners are ecstatic about them, many calling it the best sedan they've ever driven. We consider it too good to waste. So we're studying the feasibility of bringing it in as a Caprice for both law enforcement and the public.

 I would love to see this happen. Sadly I am hearing differently by people who work @ GM. But judging by recent occurrences I can hardly say even employees of the company know little about what is ACTUALLY going on.

 

All the best,

Aaron Lephart

 I don't see why they don't, they already sell the car as a Chevy Lumina in the middle east if you read more of the article.  Check out the photo I posted and you will see the bowtie on the front.
