  • Chevy SS will be made to order....

    Buyers interested in getting their hands on the 2014 Chevrolet SS will have to be patient, as the sporty sedan will be made to order from Australia.As unfortunate as it sounds to have to wait at least three months for an ordered SS to make it to American soil, the policy has been put in place to protect Holden’s South Australian workforce.The Chevrolet SS is the American automaker’s version of the Holden VF Commodore, and Holden wants to ensure the export program is stable for the long term.SEE ALSO: 2014 Chevrolet SS Debuts at Daytona 500 as a 415 hp, Performance-Luxury SedanGeneral Motors North America CEO and former Holden Chairman, Mark Reuss, confirmed the policy to Drive in Australia.Undoubtedly the policy comes in place after the failed attempts of bringing in the GTO and G8, both of which were part of the Holden export program.

      ... And it could have all been avoided if GM had taken the plunge to re-tool factory space to build the platform here in the US in the early 00's.

      Chevy SS is a classic bone-head move by GM to create a stopgap between outgoing cars and cars we really want. You know "you gotta spend money to make money"? well this is like "you gotta spend money to spend money to break even to make money"

          the name aside.. (haters gonna hate) The car is being built again in AU due to existing tooling in factories there. Once the car comes to the "Alpha" platform in FY2016 the model will be built in Georgia (maybe) and the unit will become "Its Awesomeness". GM has not set a limit on the production numbers for this car, market demand will prevail. Provided sufficient interest (whatever that is) GM will allow more and more options and packages available.

          I can't wait to see one in person.

              It will also, for all intents and purposes, be a different car altogether. Which only solidifies my point that the SS is a stopgap and nothing more. Want a cool Alpha platform car? GM already makes that, it's called the ATS.

                        Ordering one can't be anywhere near as bad as ordering a subaru. Subaru won't build to order a car, you place a order with them and if they build a car to your specs, your dealer has a allotment for it, it might be assigned to you. It took 18 weeks for my STi to come in and it took just as long for my moms outback.

                          I hear that it will be on lots, that many dealers will be making large orders of "special orders".

                          Either way, this car is a hot car. Sweet car for anyone looking for a clean four door with a V8...

                          LS3 in a family wagon? Pretty damn cool if you ask me.


                          Just saying its "special order" is another marketing technique of GM, trying to hype it. It's all about the marketing....

                            i would rethink that choice if i were you. go check out the reviews for those things. hell, go test drive one, the interior is uncomfortable and unbalanced and it drives boring as hell.

                              They will not be on lots. The only ones that are will be already purchased, just getting some "show room time" before the owner picks it up.

                              There's going to be less than 3,000, more like 2,000 made for the 2014 Model Year. The way it works out there will be only 1 for every 2 dealers out there if that. Of course small dealers will not be able to even order them. Only larger ones with the buying power will be able to.

                              The way they're setting it up, they are setting it up to fail. They're going to sell the 2,000 on the lot, call the program a failure and use that as an excuse to kill production of Holden's in Australia and go the Ford root and only import cars to Australia.
