This version is the 'PPV Detective' package. -- Last edit: 2012-08-23 04:19:54 |

It's formally known as the 9C3. |

there's actually a different shifter and window switches between the 9C1 and 9C3. |

9C3 has the "tiptronic" shifter option. |

Do you think Chevy will ever release a civilian version of this, or will it remain police-only for it's entire run? ![]() |

You won't see a civilian version. These will cease to be made in 2017. |

Wonder why Chevrolet chose to keep it police only, then? Can't see why it would've done poorly in the civilian market. ![]() |

Honestly, I can see why, considering how poorly the similar civilian SS has done. Plus, a V6 powered Caprice PPV is rated at 18 city/26 highway. So, combine the fuel economy and extra cost for it being imported from Australia, there's little reason someone would choose a V6 Caprice over a V6 Dodge Charger, which is rated at 19 city/31 highway and is built in Canada which, thanks to the North American Free Trade Agreement, is cheaper to build and import than a Caprice, which also would translate into a basic Caprice likely being at least a few thousand more than a basic Charger. Those facts also have contributed to the fact that Caprices are rare in actual police use compared to the Charger, which is quickly becoming as common as the CVPI. |

Which is sad, because the SS is a beautiful car. ![]() |

Also, a civilian Caprice has no place in Chevrolet's current lineup. They have no need for it. I wouldn't say that the Charger is becoming as common as the CVPI. With all of the options we have, I don't think we will ever see that again. But the Caprice seems to be lagging far behind the Ford/Dodge/Chevy Tahoe offerings. |
