Looks like the Middle East Caprice got decontented

At this website is the configurator

The gallery images still have the WM photos in it though, but when you configure the car, it looks like this:
The front end looks like the PPV. The exhaust tips are single tip. The SS doesn't have a spoiler, SS badging or the Impala badge on the trunk or center caps. I also see that the 2014 Impala is now available in the Middle East. I guess that's why they eliminated the Impala badges from the Caprice SS.

I've been trying to get a straight answer on this but the situation remains in limbo.

The latest FWD Impala has been released and is said to be replacing the Caprice. However, it is possible that the SS model may remain since there's no equivalent Impala. There have also been pics of a WN LHD Caprice SS which you would have already seen.

Everything on the Chevrolet Arabia website is of the WM model, just as the Australian website has only just been updated. The simulated pics are also seem highly inaccurate as well as outdated (previous interior etc) - the only noteworthy external change since launch, to my knowledge, has been the SS model getting the WM series II Caprice V mags. As for final word on what is actually happening, this remains to be seen.
