I like the dark green and that blue.

Hopefully the new Canyon will come in that blue!

All of those colors are nice! Glad to see some different offerings and hope they all sell well enough to stay as an option for 2016. Now has me curious what might be offered with 2016 MY.

I agree to an extent. The SS, as it sits, shouldn't have the Chevelle badge but with Holden no longer producing cars in the near future, the SS can be designed as a Chevelle for the next generation.

I haven't even seen one driving around in person yet surprisingly. I think they are pretty cool but IMO i'd wait for a couple years when a used low mileage one is like 25k. I'd have a hard time spending 45k on one when a slightly used CTS-V is the same cost. That's just me though

That's good advice, assuming there are any/many used SS's to be had in a few years.

You got me there, I didn't realize the production numbers are only in the few thousands.

I guess it will prob turn out like the G8 GXP, I remember there was a surplus of those sitting at dealers in 2009. Nowadays a decent one will still cost you 30k+, you can find them for sale but the prices are high. I think that's the only GXP worth anything, I was amazed a few weeks back I was poking around on Craiglist looking for new cheap DD options and found a couple Grand Prix GXPS for like $6k.

I've had my 2014 SS Sedan now for a little over 2 weeks. I traded in an automatic 2011 SS Camaro convertible.

I do a lot of city driving and have not seen much difference between the MPG of the cars. ~16.5mpg

I feel that the SS sedan has a smoother acceleration curve then the SS Camaro.

The SS sedan has plenty of interior space too. I had 4 passengers easily in the car this past week.

I am quite happy with the SS Sedan

Let me fix that.

A manual transmission and MR Shocks for 2015.

The car has a 6 speed transmission and EPS now.
