Up for sale is one Caprice PPV Police Vehicle. Privately Owned, I purchased this vehicle NEW on July 25, 2012 from Coughlin Automotive Columbus, Ohio. FULL GM warranty 3YR/36,000 bumper to bumper 5YR/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty. automatically transfers to new owner. Warranty start date 7/26/2012 & 78 miles. 100% stock drivetrain. This vehicle is not sold to the general public new. I am a police officer so I was able to purchase it new. It is a bare bones, kick a** hot rod sedan right out of the box. It was built and designed in europe, as such it has all the great performance aspects of a high dollar european sports sedan. This vehicle is unlike any american made sedan past or present. The new SS is the same car with a shorter wheelbase, as is the Camaro. The Pontiac G8 GT was the same car with a shorter wheelbase. What sets this vehicle apart is this; The Caprice is marketed as a police pursuit vehicle and sold as such. Not sold to the public new. It should be. It is an overall better performer on the track than a Pontiac G8 GT because the shift algorithm is set for the absolute best upshifts and downshifts (during aggressive driving) without regard to fuel mileage. It also will detect aggressive driving and downshift automatically to the best gear and hold that gear until redline for powering out of curves, etc. (called pursuit mode). It also has heavy duty suspension and unibody. Same brakes as the Camaro. With the L77 (LS2 block) with 355 HP and 385 torque this car will pull 0-60 around 6 seconds, but the torque along with the 6 speed transmission will absolutely blow your mind at highway speeds. Top speed of 155 MPH. It will stop in 129 feet from 60-0 the fastest stop time of any police vehicle. The L77 is basically a LS2 with L92 rectangular port heads (823 casting), Electronic throttle with 90mm body, High capacity fuel injectors (for E85) and a LS3 intake from the Corvette. This engine can easily be tuned to produce over 400 Horsepower on premium fuel or E85. This vehicle has cylinder deactivation for fuel economy. It DOES NOT have variable valve timing. The stock Goodyear Eagle RSA tires do hold the true handling of this car back, (as evident in test video's) as they are all season heavy duty tires designed for police use. I recommend summer only tires or Eagle GT tires when the stock tires need replaced. MSRP new $32,180 Feel free to message or email any questions. Full documentation along with many news articles and video's on this super car included. Here is a sample

The roominess in this vehicle is amazing. The trunk is also very big, much bigger than the Charger. The rear seat vinyl looks and feels like leather. The front seats are 1/2 vinyl (upper) and cloth (lower) and looks very nice. 6 way power seats with power lumbar and recliner
The Caprice is basically a stretched wheelbase Holden Commodore and sold as the Holden Statesman/Caprice in Australia and the Chevrolet Caprice in the Middle East. Built on the GM Zeta platform, it shares this platform with the Camaro and the new SS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Zeta_platform
Camaro and Pontiac G8 wheels can be mounted to this vehicle and there are many aftermarket wheels in 18 and 19 inch sizes that will make this vehicle more sporty looking (see pics)

The factory stereo/cd is still operational and feeds into the center dash speaker. It is not upgradeable to Bluetooth in the police vehicle in the USA so I installed the aftermarket unit.
Nice aftermarket center console with cup holders front and rear and large locking storage bin installed.
TomTom GPS included mounted next to shifter on console, auto on and off auto day night mode.

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 3 2014Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting
Mon, Aug 20 2018With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.
