I was more than a little surprised about it too. The last thing I heard was a rumor they were going to try out 5-series BMW's. Almost expected to see one of those around the central coast during my college years. Never did though.
I wish I'd gotten a better look. Can't imagine GM would even do that this close to the end of that cars run. But then they are GM.
