The new caprice just looks like an Impala they've hammered a drive shaft tunnel into and stuffed a live axle into....

yes it does look somewhat like the wimpala but i think the new 9c1 is built on a longer wheel base? i,m not certain about this car but i will be disecting it once i actually get to see one up close.... the new p71 will be engine mounted sideways front wheel drive unless you get the ecoboost version still engine mounted wrong way but you get all wheel drive? the taurus has proven to be no slouch at the quarter mile ,,,but how will it hold up? Its always been easier to mod a rear wheel drive car so chev may have an advantage with the 6.0L i,m just saying lol i still love my 06 P71 and always will

If the Eco boost is anything like the ford diesel trucks with the
twin turbos, It'll be shoe Horned in and a bitch to work on!

Looks like a cross between a Caprice and a Camry. Well...everything changes eventually. If it's anything close to the reliability of the Crown Vic I would consider thinking about driving one. The video talks about 18" wheels and better acceleration and braking than the current Vic. I like acceleration
