  2. I hope the dealership network doesn’t mess this up. This car has the potential to be downright awesome, and I want it to sell so well that the Holden plant has to increase production. But that’s just a hope!

    1. I think this car would have made more sense as a buick given it’s price point but i hope it does well.

  4. Pass all the way on this car for me, it’s a year late and $5K too high. For $45K, I’ll take a used CTS-V, has more power, just as many features, MagneRide, choice of auto or manual trans., Heinricy’s fingerprints, and…………….I don’t have to wait 90 days for “my” car to show up from “down under”. I give Reuss credit for trying this again, but that’s about it.

    1. If the price is to high just wait a year. When the 2015 SS comes out they will cut prices on the 2014. Then you can pick up a silver SS for $37469

  5. Could this be GM’s plan to make Chevrolet a true global brand like Ford as they wind down the non global brands?

    2. Whilst I suspect GM has that plan, the Chevrolet SS came about because the head GM North America, Mark Ruess wanted the Commodore to return to the USA. Mark is a former general manager of Holden and absolutely fell in love with the Commodore. He even has a scale model of a Holden Racing Team V8 Supercar car on his desk.

  6. Holden holds 15% market share thus isn’t being phased out. GM isn’t crazy, would not risk a sales drop in favor of a name change. Holden has become Chevy in all but name, so what benefit comes of risking a good thing.
    Shoppers down under would not get all excited over the bow tie!
    G8 should have lived on as a Chevy given the quality of the car. Glad to see a return but wish they were using Pontiac pricing.

  7. So true Steve!

    Whilst the G8 has returned, the Chevy SS is unfortunately too high in price to be what the G8 could have been sales wise. I wish the Commodore could have gone to the USA as is, just like the G8, rather than have something better than a Commodore but not as good as a HSV go. Holden needs the export sales and GM needs to bring back the G8 buyers.

  8. If the G8 GXP was still around it would be $44700 for 2014.
