\nBob Lutz is at it again, telling Drive.com.au that he would love to see a Commodore-based sedan back in America as a Chevrolet. Or, to use the quote-machine’s own words:<\/p>\n

\n
“If we can pull that off and we have the next generation Commodore in as a police vehicle then we want to take a look at reintroducing a civil version as a high-end Chevrolet. Because when you get down to it the thrill of high performance driving is unmatched by anything that doesn’t have rear-wheel drive, bags of torque and a nice transmission. So there’s a possibility of a premium Chevrolet sedan that would be sold in limited numbers. Think of it as a kind of four-door Corvette.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As if you needed any reminder, GM is introducing the Chevrolet Caprice PPV<\/a> as a law enforcement-only model<\/a> this year, and naturally there’s rumblings of a civilian version or a re-reborn Commodore version<\/a> being offered sometime in 2012 carrying the Chevy SS moniker. Despite our love of all things G8 (dead or not), we’ll believe it when we see it. Yet again<\/a>.<\/p>\n
