Who own an SS Sedan? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've had mine going on 6 months now. I have absolutely zero complaints or problems with mine. It comes with every option, you could want in a car other than wi-fi ... It's fast if not a bit faster than a Camaro SS, but handles much better to me. The feel of the car is much more agile, but still has a stiff sport ride. The feel and comfort of the seats is great, and the steering wheel feel is better than the Camaro. This car also seats four comfortably for long hauls, and is great for traveling or using car seats for kids.

For those that say it looks like crap, they just don't get it. This car is not for everyone, but I get nothing but compliments on it. IMO I now have the best of both worlds sitting in my driveway.

Not for everyone but ok for me.

If everyone liked the same thing it sure would be boring because we would all drive cars that look exactly alike.
I like the SS, I hope there will be a second gen come out.

If you count the GXP, this is the second gen

Probably not off Zeta considering Holden production ends in 2017 (or was it 2016) and no where else is Zeta built.

There are options, though. So lets hope demand is there. I can still see the Impala going back to RWD at some point in the future and making the business case more profitable for a wider choice of vehicles. Oh, wait, that didn't work for Pontiac. Dang it!!!!

I don't understand the hate on the SS. I think it's great.

I'm definitely not a fan of the SS. I love the idea, just hate the what Chevrolet did with it.

Thanks for the feed back. We just got back from the test drive. It really grew on me after driving it. The car is very well balanced and the power curve is right on. I love the white too. My wife is in love with it, and it will primarily be hers. I believe we are going to pull the trigger on it. I'm trying to play the came to get more off. They have had this car for a pretty long time.

Also, I was one of the critics of this car when it came out. They look much better in person, and after driving one, it feels like a great car.

I guess I should have said a next gen SS. Since the Camaro is switching platforms, it would be logical that the SS could too and moved to US production.

They're all sedans. That's why I didn't title my thread that way. I wish they made it in a two door hard top.

Every captive-import based off the Holden Commodore for sale to the general public in the US is a sedan. However, here on Camaro5 it is very easy to read 'SS' and think 'Camaro' -which is obviously not a sedan, while still being an SS

I really wish they had given that car an actual name. Even as simple as "Sport Sedan" pretty much anything* would have been better than 'SS'

* except Chevelle -does everyone forget what happened the last time GM slapped the name of a 60's muscle car onto an imported Holden?

Doesn't matter I got my answer from people that knew what I was asking. Go ahead and close it if you like.

Gas mileage sucks but not much worse than a Camaro SS.

Frankly a lot of car for the money.

And to be clear, the LS3 makes up for pretty much any complaint.

Roomy, reasonably quiet and a rocketship of a sedan. Nuff said.

IS the mpg not much worse than a Camaro SS? On paper, its much worse.

Some very wild colors for SS Performance for '15. I'm not sure that all these are in addition to the existing color palate from '14, which is lacking in color choices. Anyway, they are as follows:
