Living in Minnesota rear wheel drive in the Snow isn't my cup of tea. I grewup with rear wheel drive, having the front wheel drive is so much better in the snow. All wheel drive is even better.

loose the front license plate

congrats! it's a very nice car. powerful too.

shinzon · 06-30-2014, 10:10 PM

it is a nice car...but

my thoughts on them:
The bad:

car was designed over 13 years ago.
no manual tranny
exterior snoozer
good luck getting parts from holden in couple years when their defunct
Price: no value there
limited tire size.

the good:
only sedan gm makes worth a damn
NO RECALLS YET ahhahahahaha
limited build , curios of production numbers

it's cool, I can see the draw to it. GM could have hit a home run with it but vs a srt charger no contest. also why the ftuck doesn't that come with a manual...

Very nice! I was b/w my '14 Camaro and a '14 SS when I was choosing.

Recalled yesterday for the windshield wipers.

GM makes several great sedans, ATS and CTS are pretty good cars.

This is a new version of the architecture. As Fen pointed out it is the VF. Similar in size and shape but a lot new.

Don't plan on keeping mine long enough for service parts to be an issue. But the requirement is 10 years.

If I had a family this would definitely be the car I'd choose. Congrats on the sweet ride!

The SS Sedan is my wife's car. I was looking at getting a CTS-V but after sitting in the new Vett I'm thinking that will be my next car now that we have a performance sedan. The Vett is easier for me to get in/out of than the Camaro.

We put 1,000 miles on our new SS Sedan in the 1st week. Our 2014 SS Sedan pulls harder from idle to 130mph & handles better than our 2012 Camaro SS auto. I haven't taken the SS Sedan past 130mph yet but it was still pulling hard when I let off the gas..

My mileage so far has ranged from 17.5mpg to 26mpg depending on the city/hwy mix along with how much playtime the tank saw which is what we saw with our 2012 Camaro.

Yeah right, ok - we're all just stupid. Get real.

I think people bag on them because it doesn't have a "sports car" look. I don't like the looks of it either.

if it were a 2 door,it would be more to my likeing.

SSGUNNER · 07-06-2014, 07:50 AM

Was really considering the SS but opted out.

Nice ride though.
