Pontiac G8 – The Next Chevy Caprice?
Rumors floating throughout the Internetz suggest that Pontiac’s G8 may live on with a Chevy tag as a possible future Chevrolet Caprice Concept! How Exciting! The last Caprice we at Pontiacpedia really loved is the 1978-1980 version (pictured above), but we do have a crush on all boxy looking American made autos from that era.
General Motor’s on-again off-again marketing icon Bob Lutz has been quoted as saying the Pontiac G8 would find its way into Chevrolet showrooms as the Caprice. God, please don’t let this be a giant tease!
“The last time we looked at [the G8], we decided that we would continue to import it as a Chevrolet,” Lutz said. “It is kind of too good to waste.” But Lutz, citing export agreements with Australia and the fact that the Holden Commodore is already sold in many countries as a Chevrolet, assured Automobile GM would not let the car die.
