And... to provide some closing stats to this thread, the sales totals for all Caprices, model years 2011-2017 were 15,994 units according to GM data. No sales occurred after March, 2018 according to the stats. Canada remains at just four official sales over all model years. This brings the grand total to...... (drumroll please)..... 15,998 units.

Just a few other makes/models for comparison, the Pontiac G8 sold a total of 38,433 units during 2008-2010 (covering model years '08 and '09). Chevrolet SS sold a total of 12,861 units in the five years it was on sale (2013-2018, covering MY '14, '15, '16, and '17).

So, the GRAND TOTAL of all Holden WM/WN platform cars sold in the US during GM's bold experiment was.... 67,288 units.

Just thought I'd do a forum cross-post, I was browsing around for any updated production info on Caprices when I ran into a very nice thread over on the SS forums posted up in May, with some detailed information on 2017 production specifics in addition to some other data elements that we did not identify with just our base production numbers.

Check out the thread here: https://www.ssforums.com/forum/chevy-ss ... kdown.html

Thanks

I reached out to a few people at GM and finally was given a source for some information. A certification engineer that worked with the PPV export provided the attached information in regard to the production information/breakdown. It does not 100% match the sales information release by GM, but is likely the closest/best we are going to get!

I would say that based on the information provided, that is correct (the 130 "missing" cars, referenced in the note at the bottom, were mentioned by the certification engineer to have been produced in 2012-2013).

Mine is pretty rare, too. 2011 Silver Ice 9C3. 1 of 40. It's awesome that we have this info, even if there are 130 cars that are unaccounted for. Thanks for posting it, Ben98gs.
