I really hope they don't ugly up the front end to look like the 2009 Chevy Caprice (Middle East version) in the picture on that webpage. I think they should keep it looking exactly the same as the Pontiac G8, but change the Pontiac logo to the Chevy bowtie.
2009 Firehawk Supercharged FTW!!!
Make a 2 door version of the Firehawk and call it a Monte Carlo!

Yah I dont expect they'd keep the ugly'd up look of the middle eastern version. I sure hope they keep it as close as possible to the G8's current awsome appearance. But the caprice, that nameplate just conjurs up memories of the grandparent's old ride!!!

Why the heck would they bring back the Caprice name? To me Caprice doesn't equal performance - Impala SS does - a real Impala SS rear wheel drive + V8 = excitement!

Call me crazy ( or maybe my head still hurts from the turnip truck incident ), but i would buy the Caprice and turn it into a definite sleeper.
