Yahoo Autos Chevrolet SS Manufacturing Plant Receives Huge 1000-Car Order from America
The Chevy SS is often the butt-end of a joke when it comes to car sales in America. Everyone just assumes no one will buy a big expensive rear-wheel-drive manual V8-powered sedan anymore. But those people are wrong, because the plant in Australia that makes the SS just got an order for 1000 more American-bound badass burnout machines.
According to Australian publication Perth Now, Holden's (Chevrolet's Australian brand) Elizabeth plant received an order from America for an additional 1000 SS sedans to be built and shipped to our shores.
If you're familiar with the Chevy SS, you'll know it's essentially a rebadged Holden VFII Commodore, Chevy's flagship sports sedan for the Australian market. It's powered by an LS3 V8 straight out of the last-generation Corvette, has magnetic ride control, and even an optional six-speed manual. So, all the ingredients necessary for a fantastic driving machine.
Since GM only sold a mere 2148 Chevy SSes after going on sale in 2013, this new 1000-car order is fairly huge. We already know Holden is ending production on the Commodore next year, so we're assuming this is the final sendoff allocation bound for the US market.
What the report doesn't specify, though, is what kind of Chevy SS we're going to be receiving. If these are the final SSs to be sold in America, there could be the possibility that it may even be the insane, supercharged LS9-powered Commodore GTS-R W1.
We can only hope.
