I saw this alluded to in another thread. What do you know about the Arabian Chevy Caprice? Is it RWD? It appears to offer the 350 c.i. and the
3800 c.c. engines. Sounds like the same offerings as the late Firebirds/ Camaros. What platform is it built on? Is it body/frame or unibody? Could this be imported to USA?No they can't be imported, they don't have the same emissions as US requirements. They also make a Chevy Lumina SS RWD with the Corvette LS1 engine. From what understand they aren't cheap over there either.

And another
These are all made by Holden and exported to the middle east.
Holden's export portfolio expanded in 1999, with the first shipments of long wheelbase left hand drive Holden Statesman models to the Middle East. Branded as the Chevrolet Caprice, sporting the Generation III V8 engine and available in three levels - LS, LTZ and SS - these models satisfy the Middle Eastern markets' preference for large, powerful rear wheel drive vehicles.
Not likely.
The Pontiac GTO is a rebranded Holden Monaro.
If these are ever imported, it would likely be the Commodore that is imported (basically a 4 door version of the Monaro/GTO)
That's correct. Holden is the name GM sells under in the East.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know!
