Ummm, I could be wrong here, but the Caprice now built overseas is completely different than the Bbody that was built up to '96 in Texas.

Anybody care to back me up on this one?

you are correct sir... the Caprice is built in Oz along side the rest of the LS1 powered, RWD/AWD sedans and coupes. The 2 cars are very different chassis wise.
Its just a matter of time till Zeta goes full production and offers large cars for Chevy, Pontiac and Buick, not to mention small coupes.
The Caprice is about the size of a Bonnie I belive, but offers much better handling, and good old Gen III small block power!!. I think that the 300 series is opening a large market that no one wanted to touch. Its funny to think that the last one really out of the large car market is the first one back in it! The B-body cars of teh 90's wont hold a candle to the 300. The Zeta chassis will offer great flexabilty from large sedans to small coupes.

I remember on another site that someone posted up pictures of Virginia having GTO's as cop cars. They had lights in the grill and everything. All the computers and such.

The Crown Victoria is one of the most high-margin cars sold. They're a goldmine for Ford (+10k per car profit so I've heard!).

a few years back their margins were at 10-12% or so, when many vehicles today are much lower.....

It also doesn't hurt profitability that Ford paid-off the tooling for the Panthers (Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis) TWO DECADES AGO! [/b][/quote]
hehehe and people laugh at GM for keeping chassis for 10 years.
