Will there ever be rear wheel drive v-8 impala or caprice classic?

Answer 1

General Motors is in the process of modifying the rear-drive Australian Holden Chassis for several new versions of their products, including various Pontiacs (e.g., G8) and Chevys. It is expected that the Impala will be one, but there are no plans to bring back the Caprice.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, 1996 was the last model year for the rear wheel drive Chevy Caprice and Impala Super Sport models.

These were and still are highly sought after cars and many sell for near new prices 11 years later.

It makes you wonder, "What the heck were they thinking?!!" when every city COP car, Sheriffs Dept., State Police, Taxi Cab, and many Federal agencies were driving the Chevy Caprice and Impala SS models when GM stopped production.

I hope someone in GM's corporate HQ got tied to the bumper of a SS and dragged for a mile or two after they made this stupid decision.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

I'm assuming you mean will they ever produce a rear wheel version of these cars again? GM was planning on producing a rear wheel drive version of the Impala and then using that same platform to bring out a new generation of RWD Monte Carlo. However those plans may not come to fruition because the government's now thinking of raising the CAFE standards to a level that might be hard to comply with using RWD. Time will tell.

Answer 4

I believe GM is working on a rear wheel drive full size sedan for Chevy. Whether or not they call it an Impala is a different story.
