The official unveiling of the 2014 Chevrolet SS is nearly upon us, and we thought it would be a good idea to share with you a quick write-up as to what we can expect from the rear-wheel-drive, Zeta-based full-sized sedan on its way to the Chevrolet family.
Firstly, the “four door Corvette” (according to some) Chevrolet SS will be imported from Australia, as a twin to the Holden Commodore SS V sport sedan that was unveiled just yesterday. This means a V8 (most likely an LS-small-block), Brembo brakes, twenty-inch wheels, a six-speed manual transmission, a flat-bottom steering wheel, an electronic parking brake, an all-new seat and dashboard design, and of course, four doors. As if the Pontiac G8 GXP never left.
What’s more, because of its fully loaded and limited-run nature, don’t expect the Chevrolet SS to be that cheap or be widely available. Early estimations put the car in the $40,000 range, which isn’t exactly inexpensive. Still, $40,000-plus for 400-plus horsepower and four doors sounds fair to us.
There have also been rumors of a range-topping, supercharged version of the Holden Commodore/Chevy SS test mule roaming around. Sounds like a budget Cadillac CTS-V to us, but mums the word if such a vehicle will actually happen. Either way, we’ll know all in less than 24 hours.

Will they not use new transmission from the Corvette? It being a limited model they should offer that, and I’m thinking it will offer the new LT1
I’d only get excited about it if it looks like that 4-door Camaro photo-shop car. That Holden looks like a fat Passat, which reminds me of the GTO badge-engineer failure.

I’m sorry but the Four door corvette comments need to stop. putting a Corvette engine in a vehicle does not make it a Corvette. This might be a great car but don’t insult the heritage of the corvette. If you feel the need, call it a four door Camaro.
I’m excited for the reveal, but for me it is overshadowed by the recent news of the next generation Alpha Buick Regal! I already started a savings jar.
I saw the car but I kinda want to know why no manual tranny?? but it’s good that they offer the self park assist and needs to put that on every cars and trucks
where is the 2 door? a 4 door SS….not
