The Chevrolet SS is a great sedan, but it’s been missing a few things. The lack of a manual transmission was the most obvious item, with a lack of a proper name coming up in second place. It appears that GM has fixed one of those two, allowing a manual transmission as an option on the low-volume sedan for 2015. Additionally, the SS gets the Magnetic Selective Ride Control system, which is already found on other GM’s including Corvette, Camaro, and a few Cadillacs. More improvements include some interesting new color options, including:
Regal Peacock Green…
- …Alchemy Purple, …
…and Perfect Blue.
So, you get more colors, a real transmission, the hottest suspension pieces in GM’s parts boxes. A new rear gear ratio (3.70) will get the car up and moving nicely, too. Now, can we finally name the thing? Impala? Caprice? Bathurst?
just looks like a holden commodore except lhd ss this body has been aust. for a while. they might have added some electronics. but they are like assholes here
there goes Grandma picking up the grand kids for the weekend in her Grandma 4 door car we are sick of Grandma 4 door cars make a 2 door car again 4 doors suck
Are you unaware of the plethora of coupes GM offers?
Thank you Aussies for supplying such motoring awesome ness. Heart by USA Soul by Aussies.
Can’t wait to get one in 2030 for $2,000 bucks and take it on Power Tour 36.
Haha!
Name? “Morto” because it is as good as dead. production in Australia stops 2017.
Like a few others have said, its just a VF Commodore, and not even a particularly high spec one – check out HSV’s offerings and look too at what a number of aftermarket mobs do with them too.
heres an article about some of HSV’s versions on offer

Yes, we all know GM markets this car as a commodore in australia. Not important. I don’t know a “mob” is but there isn’t a better country that’s tunes LS cars than the US. The gts is a cool car but it’s close to $100,000 US. At that price it’s not competitive.
The SS is, and remains, the best sports sedan under $60,000.
As much as I like these cars, just would rather buy a Caprice PPV and save about $20K. Yes its not as flashy as the SS but I like function over form!
Fairly sure the PPV lacks an LS3 and respectable braking. Those two systems alone will annihilate most of your “about $20K” “savings”.
