Asked about the future of the Pontiac G8, slated to end production with the 2009 model year, Lutz told Automobile Magazine the car would find its way into Chevrolet showrooms under the Caprice name.
“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.”

:tup:
now old dudes can callout big ed and spray these as well!
Looks like a cobalt on roids, haha… I hope it doesn’t look like that
regardless that is good news, because I am looking to pick up one of these used soon once I ditch the STS…
I gotta get my wife a nice ride first, anyone want to buy a 84 ta?
LOL How long til the Impala SS cames back again?I’ll guess 3 mins.
looks boring.
Future cop cars?
Yeah auto blog was predicting cop cars
Sure looks ugly as a Chevy. Hopefully that’s just an artist’s rendering and the real re-badge will look better.
UGLY
No I believe that is the middle east variant of the Chevy on the longer platform.
I would expect some changes when they move it over to the US on the shorter wheelbase and a different front end on the SS.
Return of the donk!
what a terrible move on there part! why dont we just take the malibu, reshape minor things, and add some slits in the fender. we have a new type of car.
this company does not know how to make an appealing car to people with money and the want for power and a sedan.
they really botched this car up pretty bad!
malibu
ford 500
those are the cars that i think more resembles this hunk of shit!

:tup: to keeping a good platform alive. GM always was bitchin’ at getting something right, just before they killed it.
Really?
Is this a set up?
we arent talking about cadi, we are talking about gm making the g8 into a chevy now. i understand they are all the same company, but imo they just destroyed the name and the look of the car.
overall, :tup: to keeping this alive
awesome.
I think it should have came back in the park avenue variant, Buick needs some models if they truly are trying to keep it around.

Sure that one doesn’t have a V8 but its the holden statesman on zeta, so it could. Whats strange is that it doesn’t ahve the classic Buick grilles on the fenders and the caprice has a little port there.
Its been said many times that Buick is not in any way shape or form a performance brand in the new GM.
