Those of us residing in the U.S. continue to await information on the 2016 Chevrolet SS. The Australian homeland has already been graced with the 2016 Holden Commodore Series II, but Chevrolet has been mum on the bowtie-badged version.
It seems Chevrolet has quietly updated its official site with a small page for the 2016 Chevrolet SS performance sedan. In fact, we’re not even sure how to navigate to the page, which you can see here, without Googling the car.
The page lists all the confirmed updates coming to the 2016 SS, but has also curiously added an availability date for “early 2016.” Chevrolet has not released official details on pricing or availability, so this update is our best inference as to when the vehicle will be available locally.
Forum chatter previously pegged the 2016 SS to arrive on December 21, 2015 according to the General Motors ordering guide. That date has now been changed to “To Be Determined.”
Our most logical guess is a focus on 2016 Commodore Series II production, as locals scoop up the final locally-produced sedan.
Photos from outside Holden’s manufacturing facility show the 2016 SS sedan looking nearly ready to board the boat but, alas, it seems we will have to wait a little longer than we once thought.

I liked the idea of offering a page with the described in the article car’s details helping the readers to get a quicker and easier access to more information on the treated topic. We will think of a similar feature for our blog’s articles on repokar com.
Great! What a amazing idea!
Comical….The 2016 Camaro is finally arriving, The 2016 Cruze & Malibu are not even in lots yet, The 2016 Volt still isn’t on lots in most of the US. BUT the updated 2016 Silverado was rushed onto lots!!! (ofcourse the money maker for GM). Ha even the 2016 GMC Sierra is not on lots.
This is not even shocking about the 2016 SS….I was at a chevy dealer getting my car worked on it’s hilarious that it’s mid November and its the same vehicles…the 2016 Cruze & Malibu Limited cause of the struggle for the new generation models….not even one Volt. The saleman didn’t even know when the new Camaro was arriving (they thought in January)- I just let em talk- as I know from the articles.
I love GM but it’s the usual struggle.
PLease let the lame comment that comes to Chevy’s defense….Man GM should be knocking it out of the park with the Cruze, all the CUV’s and the Truck line up. They have some awesome vehicles- but again the struggle.
Oh and Chevy didn’t even have the brochures for the new generation models- what a blunder since that would be a great way to keep the new car on someone’s mind at their home so they come back to buy it.
No wonder GM struggles with competitors…its the little things.
I am forced to concur, Delivery Man. Just had some service done on the old Corvette at my local dealer, no information at all on ANY of the new models. Love GM, but they do seem to be lagging a bit this year.
While you’re right, I just have to add though that all the vehicles you’re on about are new gens. The Silverado and Sierra only change a couple body panels. Takes time when they decide to change damn near everything in the lineup at one time. This isn’t the 60’s where all you had to do was hook up 10 wires.
I understand that these are the new products, but I was a bit surprised that even the dealer had literally no information on almost all of them- not pricing, specifications or arrival dates. I can understand a lag for one or two new vehicle lines, but this is true for almost every car. Really odd to have nothing but last year’s line by early November.
On the other hand, the new cars seem as if they will be worth the wait!
Yes Marc, the dealers are awful with misinformation.
BTW GM should have had either the 2016 Cruze or the 2016 Malibu ready to roll and compete by the Fall of 2015. get ONE of the new generation cars on the road to get ppl looking and talking…and have the brochures ready for the other cars when ppl come in. Basically I’m saying throw more resources at that instead of the Silverado (obviously I’m an armchair CEO- so they made the best decision that they thought).
GM has some of the weakest dealerships. no communication and lack of auto knowledge.
Oh BTW when I was at Chevy, the salesman had no clue Pontiac was even discontinued. I was having a blast listening to this clown talk!!

Are you sure you weren’t speaking to someone from 2007 through a trans-dimensional portal through time that opened up on the sales floor?
So, please explain to me, one more time, the advantages and overall improvements, of the New GM, from the GM we all grew up with…the GM that brought us Excitement, Style, Muscle and Vision…The GM that was once the mainstay of ‘The Big 3’!! Please know, that I have been, and will continue to be a loyal GM Guy, who loves 55, 56, 57 GM cars and trucks, and beyond…and that goes for today’s models, such as the awesome Chevy SS
I’ve always been a GM man, but i question if I should still be. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing GM can be proud of in the last 20 years is the LS family of engines
