Default Confirmed! 2015 Chevy SS Manual, Magnetic Ride, More Colors

Looks like it has finally been confirmed that the SS will have the option of a 6 speed manual and magnetic ride! Hopefully this will help for a bright future for the model.

It's not for attention ******. It's a muscle car that really flies under the radar and probably the best sedan GM sells here for what it costs.

Offering all of Holden's high impact candy colors should set it off for those that like that sort of thing though.

Agreed. Basic transportation at best. I suppose that's fine, but it doesn't interest me in the least.

It's never meant to be anything other than a real low production toy and they don't care how many they move or don't move with Holden closing.

It's also worth noting G8 GXPs in 2009 stickered at about the same price and had no real features that were pretty standard in that range.

No HIDs, no nav, even the seatbacks weren't powered and they didn't have lights in the console, footwells and glove box (even GTOs had those).

It's priced where it should be a for a car of this quality and features.

Thank you!
Too many people want the Chevy SS for the price of a 4cyl Sedan, guess what, that will not happen.

I am getting one of these for sure, always like the G8's and do like CTS-V's but this fits me more with the more subtle design

The lack of these 2015 add-ons is the only thing that kept me from getting a 2014 when I picked up my C6 last year

while i might enjoy it i never buy anything for attention. it just doesnt appeal to me. i have a GTO and it gets almost no attention and i enjoy it very much even now.

price isnt what bothers me. i just wished it looked a little more aggressive.

To me that is the whole point of the car, and with what I am hopefully planning for it will make it a lot of fun with the surprised reactions it will get

And I am just giving you a hard time Ultimate, but isnt your post above contradicting itself just a bit

dont buy for attention but you want to the car to grab more attention

If it didn't look like your average 4cyl Sedan, people might not complain so much about it's "blah" styling.

I cannot decide what color to get ... I was really hoping for the SOMish color that I have seen around.

Prolly white or blue for me, maybe a green
