Yeah, they're going to start slapping SS on everything again. At least I hope it's on a car that is worthy of the badge this time.

I look at this the same way the now existing ZL1 was rumored to be the Z28.
Also, I keep reading there working on an all new car that's not derivative of any other existing car, but every time the Commodore and G8 get mentioned as being that new car or based on. How is that all new and not derivative?


I would love to see something from Chevy that is all new, and not based on any existing or past name plate or designs. When was the last time that actually happened? And what car was it?

A lot of people betting on the VF (facelifted) Commodore.

You may want to look into the equinox and traverse a tad more. Equinox chassis was a saturn vue. Traverse has a unique body with same lambda chassis as acadia, enclave and the outlook .

I would think they are just talking about the standard camaro V-6 and then the Super Sport performance is referring to the SS V-8 model. I think they are reading to much into this personally.......

You guys might think its dumb, but I think it would be cool to see a new roadster like the Sky or Solstice. Currently GM is missing out on that market and Mazda doesn't seem to be having trouble selling Maita's (MX-5).

Although it does have a sweet engine w/ or w/o the super charger, from that picture posted above, I do not thing that car is "Chevelle" worthy personally. It would just be another flop like the 04-06 GTO was, and take the Chevelle name down with it.

VE Commodore and VF Commodore will be fairly different.

Equinox and Vue are on different platforms. Theta-II vs Theta I.

714 units sold last month is terrible.

the G8 and other Commodores look weak and way too generic. I hope they redesign it and give it some Impala SS type design cues!!!

Why is Chevrolet Captiva mentioned on the roll sheet? That's not sold in the USA.
Avalanche is dead and will be long gone by 2014.

How does 1 rumour equal a company wide trend?

Calling a rebadged Holden sedan a Chevelle will go over about as well with the enthusiast community as calling the the Monaro a GTO went over a few years ago.

Captiva is a fleet only rebadge of the Vue, intended to keep the Equinox fleet volume low (and therefore keep their resale value high)

Yeah, so generic.

It'll run circles around any Impala SS.

Meanwhile ... here is the oh-so-inspiring Impala SS, circa 2007:
