Is the middle east the only market it is currently sold at?

as a chevy, yes. I belive they were looking to bring this over to the US as a buick sedan. But with Zeta coming, by the time they design, release and come to market with the sedan, Zeta will already be here. I think this article is a day late and a dollar short.

Well, I think I'll chime in here....

I'm over in Kuwait now and I've seen numerous LS1 Caprice's.

They're impressive to see in person. Haven't had a chance to sit in one yet, though I'd jump at the chance.

Very slick and modern design. From the pictures you almost get the impression that it's a warmed over 90's jellybean car. But that's not the case from what I've seen.

Hey Joe! Good to hear back from you!

As Ive said in numerous other posts, the sooner Chevy can get a Caprice/Impala like car back in their lineup, the better!

Chevrolet will get a Caprice, but it won't be made in Australia.

Thumbs up Caprice

Care to give hint as to when we'll get a rwd Caprice again? My father is going to need to lease another car soon....and the 300c has really got him interested. If Chevy offered a Caprice it will be at the top of the list!
