On right hand drive cars are the pedals still in the same order with the clutch on the left or are the pedals backwards?

NO!! the G8 was a sexy SOB! This car is far from sexy! I would say its ok at best.

I'd rather buy one of these when they are retired from the police fleets. Same fun as the SS at 25% of the cost.

At least they didn't call it a cheVelle.

I don't know. I can't get down with SS as a model name.

Need to see it in person.
First reaction is the interior is nice...
But outside and price... pass

Too bad you can't choose a base LS model.
Delete all of the stuff on this list except for the powertrain. Include cloth seats, manual AC and AM/FM with CD changer. Then charge $29,995 for the car.

Standard equipment includes:

High intensity discharge headlamps with Light emitting diode daytime running lamps
Automatic Parking Assist
Chevrolet MyLink with a color touch screen and GPS-based navigation system
Bose® premium audio system – including SiriusXM radio (with 12-month trial)
Color head-up display and color driver information center
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Alloy pedal covers
Heated and ventilated front seats with memory
Side Blind Zone Alert and Lane Departure Warning
Rear-vision camera with rear park assist
Keyless access and push-button start.
The LS3 6.2L small-block V-8 powers the SS, is SAE certified at 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb-ft of torque (563 Nm), which helps it sprint from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds. It is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually using TAPshift paddles mounted on the steering wheel.

It's only a name.... Remember what Shakespeare wrote, "A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

If they had called the Camaro just SS instead of Camaro would you write it off too?

If they come back next year and offer it with a lt1 and a stick I think it would be a good seller but for now I don't think it's sales will be strong even for a niche car. Even though it has a lot of things I would like to see changed I still really like it and would love to own one but I wont be able to for that kind of money....

I wouldn't hold my breath to much on the handling, Dodge REALLY stepped it up on 11+ LX cars. Closest comparison I can think of head to head that would be valid is that in C&Ds latest lightning lap they placed the Caprice against the charger police package, both V8s, and despited there only being a slight HP and the Caprice having the weight advantage the Charger simply smoked it around the track by roughly 7 seconds. The SRT they did the year before was around 7 seconds quicker than the Charger Pursuit still.

Then you would be competing with your own Impala and there's no profit in a $30k NA-spec VF Commodore.

And nowhere near as liveable now that the 9C3 trim has been deleted.

I wonder if the Holden built SS is more of a stopgap car until GM can get a North American built, RWD sedan up and running.
