2013? 2014? Chevy Caprice/G8
Any new information on this? Seems all the major auto shows came and went, and not a single hint of a RWD Chevy Sedan. Whats the deal with this thing and the supposed 'Ute'?

There is a Caprice, I'm not sure if there is a G8 variant. The Caprice is much longer. I saw a GM executive park his in a parking lot when I went to the auto show. It may be a fleet vehicle though

The sedan as far as I can tell is still on. It's due in showrooms after the Malibu is out. My guess, 2013MY. I seriously doubt it will be a 2012 (we're in the 2012MY now!). And if there's a wait till 2014, then the whole thing is pointless since the next all new full reskin for Holden seems to be tentatively 2015.
The Ute is a done vehicle (it was completed as a Pontiac G8 ST), so even if the sedan doesn't make it (remember, there's the same size Espilon Impala coming in 2013), I'm finally comfortable enough to actually say I'm moving the Ute from questionable to a near certainty.
As for the sportwagon, while it also was done for Pontiac, and while I haven't heard anything new lately, I'd still give it a shot at coming here. There's nothing like it, and even the Magnum was very successful for a couple of years. Again, unlike the sedan, it's not competing with another simlar vehicle in Chevy showrooms.

The Commodore got a refresh this year, it wasn't much, but that is what held up the release of the Caprice PPV which was originally suppose to have been available last fall. All I've been able to see is a few styling tweaks and trim changes on the outside, and a slightly revised dash on the inside.
