greg1647545532 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not sure what you're asking, but SS is the model name. AFAIK there's no options or variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not sure what you're asking, but SS is the model name. I didn't know they made just an SS. I'm used to Impala SS or Cobalt SS. Thanks! /thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Surprised you actually saw one IRL. I have YET to see one on public roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Think of it as a Caprice SS that the marketing people decided to butcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's actually looks like a G8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's actually looks like a G8 It basically is, same chassis, just a little smaller and lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 In Australia where thats made GM owns Holden, same place the GTO ans G8 came from. It is based on the Holden Commadore, same thing the G8 is based on, hence the similarity and updated chassis. I have driven them, they are quite nice.

2 Sweet Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's actually looks like a G8 Yeah, it's just a G8/Holden with a goofy looking front bumper. Limited production, I think they only made a few thousand, and only in automatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I saw a black one a while back. Thought it looked good. Just assume it's the new Impala SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Surprised you actually saw one IRL. I have YET to see one on public roads. There are a couple floating around up near me in NW Cbus. Nice black one at Sam's Club all the time. Gets gas there. Nice for what they are but a little over priced IMO. $44k for one that I priced out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 6 speed manual coming this summer already out I thought they made it as a manual but dealers were idiots and didn't order them as such? auto only first year, manual option for 15 very rare, just like gxp g8 manual resale will be high on a manual ss There are a couple floating around up near me in NW Cbus. Nice black one at Sam's Club all the time. Gets gas there. Nice for what they are but a little over priced IMO. $44k for one that I priced out. Discounts should be available since they aren't selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Saw my first one the other day on 270. I actually really like them. It will be interesting if they release the 1LE package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Discounts should be available since they aren't selling. I suppose. Once depreciation hits and they are out there with say 15k on them prices will make more sense. Until then I've been finding tons and tons of 1-2 year old cars with amazing deals. Cars that will run circles around the overpriced Cheby's. Fuck I wish spring was here already..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 considering how rare they are and how rare that color is I probably saw this exact car on a chevy lot 3 months ago. They were giving almost $10K off MSRP for it which seemed like a reasonable deal considering these cars are $46K new. Funny Quirk about these cars - GM loses money on them and therefor doesn't market them at all. They exist solely because GM has to meet some funny Australian contractual obligation: http://jalopnik.com/2014-chevrolet-ss-the-jalopnik-review-1482793126 Problem is, GM has this agreement where they'll build a certain number of cars for export in Australia. That's where Vauxhall gets their V8 powered sedans from. And to meet that volume, one of them had to come to America. Since Pontiac is gone, and that means their driving excitement and wide track thrills are history as well, the newest Holden Commodore is coming back to America as the Chevrolet SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Whoa, $10k discount on a $46k MSRP? WHERE CAN I FIND ONE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I saw one of these on the outerbelt a couple months ago with big wheels on it and lowered, sounded good too like possibly had exhaust I too, had to do a double take to figure out exactly what it was.

BigOxley Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I didn't know they made just an SS. I'm used to Impala SS or Cobalt SS. Thanks! /thread and this is why Chevrolet is not selling any of these, ZERO marketing... then they are all like "see I TOLD YOU no one wants to buy a V8 rear drive sedan!"

Geeto67 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Whoa, $10k discount on a $46k MSRP? WHERE CAN I FIND ONE? I wish I could remember which dealer we were at. My friend found it and dragged me along to look at the car. It was already December and the car was not sold and roughly $10K off just to get it "the hell off the lot" is what the salesman told him. It had been nailed to their lot since early 2014 like it was a statue. Quick scan of Cars.com turned up this loaded one with 40 miles for $38K though it is not local: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/603884616/overview/ The nearest cheapest one is the $39K car at Jack Maxton, but it has 124 miles so either it's a new one listed as used or they sold it and then the buyer traded it: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/628826075/overview/ Wanna know what a pain Chevy is being about these cars? I tried to use their tool to find one and it said there were no new or used in their dealer's inventory. yet all the ohio dealers have at least one and Jack Maxton has two including this red 2014 with 0 miles that they already knocked $5K off the price of in the ad: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/608963439/overview/ ya know what's even weirder? white, black, and red the dealers can't seem to give away - but if they have a mystic green or a perfect blue one they are holding out for MSRP. I think there were only 5 out of 62 cars on cars.com that were green and only one alchemy purple and one or two blue ones. the rare weird colors seem to be the ones selling but to be honest if it were me I'd buy a green or a blue one over all the other colors. here is a local one that is almost $10K off: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/601324766/overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
