If you're a fan of the full-size American passenger car, you won't need muchcoaxing to check out a Caprice, because this year will be your last chance. Well-built, well-equipped and stylish, it's a great way to travel. It is also big. Bigger, maybe, than most people need it to be. That's one of the reasons the Caprice is on its way out. But a couple taking friends on post-retirement vacations (while pulling an Airstream, perhaps) and large families will love the spacious Caprice interior, while drivers will find it far more manageable--even in city driving--than they expect. The Impala SS is even better, delivering most of the expected family-car attributes plus a dash of performance that will surprise drivers moving in from smaller sport sedans. Again, a cautionary note is in order: If you think one of these grand old cruisers might be what you're looking for, better check them out soon. It won't be long before they're extinct. |
