Deveraux is insane, GM have dropped PPV to $26,000 and still no takers.


Dodge Charger V6 is being sold for around $18,500
Charger V8 Hemi and defunct Crown Victoria $23,000
AWD Taurus PI and PI Ute will be around $23,000,
Ecoboost AWD Taurus PI will be around $25,000,
Taurus PI FWD will be approx $2,000 less.

A RWD Caprice can never match the wet weather and snow performance of an AWD Taurus
and the Ecoboost AWD Taurus is just that much better at everything...

Police want to reuse their CV police gear and computers, not buy new equipment from GM.

Deveraux cannot afford to write off Caprice PPV, it will ruin Holden's figures...
They have lost without a shot being fired from Ford yet...

Talk about living in a world of denial.

Have to laugh at Holden thinking they could sell 17,500 a year and not even selling 2000. FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL.

When does the Ford interceptor go on sale?
The Caprice PPV is to US police sales what the GM Holden Adventra was to Ford Territory sales. An EPIC fail.

The Adventra was a half baked, jacked up wagon that sold 1/12th of the Territory volume.

The Caprice PPV is a half baked, pov pack expensive vehicle that has captured 880 sales in a market of 75,000... Really, it is a shame for the Aussie industry that the numbers don't add up. It is also a shame to see a really nice vehicle be turned into the PPV too. But, but most of all it just demonstrates the stupidity and arrogance that GM and GM Holden have.
