Does the Pontiac G8 have a new life as a 2011 Chevrolet Caprice police car?

Apparently it's not the same platform as the G8 - It's supposed to be a left-hand-drive version of the long-wheelbase, Zeta-platform Holden Caprice/Statesman.

Since GM hasn't made a viable police car since 1996 it would be refreshing

No because that's a Chevy Caprice. ;)

That's not it, but there are reports that the G8 will live on as a police-only Chevrolet. It's hard for me to imagine it'll be self-sustaining without a civilian version, though.
