The Cadillac ELR (Caddy version of the Volt) is apparently listed as well.

As for the "SS Performance", it doesn't necessarily confirm anything. It's widely speculated that it will be the latest Holden V8, RWD import from Australia to be sold as a Chevrolet.

Holden's homegrown, fullsize, RWD cars are going to be new from the ground-up for 2014 so it will be a different car from the Pontiac G8 and Police Caprice.

Hey,

im currently deployed to SW Asia. There are alot of crazy chevys rolling around here that are brand new. So far I have seen, a 4 Door Chevy Caprice SS, Chevy Caprice Royale, 4 door Chevy Lumina SS, 2 door Chevy Lumina SS and some other throw away cars that are 4 door 4 or 6 cylinder Chevys.

The best of all them was the Lumina SS. That car is tits. Also, the Caprice SS would be my next ride if they bring it to the states. Im sure you can google them to check out there stats.

Anyways thought I'd chime in on this topic. I believe the car GM is bringing to us in the U.S. is the Caprice SS an Caprice Royale(has bose, comfy suspension, tv's in the head rests, old school caprice hood emblem).

Holden Coupe 60 could be competition for the BMW M3 for Chevy. Since Cadillac built the ATS for the 3 series.

Everyone would be complaining about weight. I bet it weighs more than a 5th gen Camaro.

I'm in agreement with this:

So that's what a G8 with a camaro front end looks like huh? Now the first two are sexy but we will never get the ute the second one would be killer but it would probably the camaro in sales based off looks alone. If they made the second version smaller then the camaro with a turbo v6 only that would be in a different class but still kick ass!!!!

Yea I don't know if GM made the Coupe 60 & the Camaro it would be risky. Either it should be the next 6th gen Camaro or make it & put whatever TT V6 engine GM going to use for the Cadillac ATS-V. I think that would appeal to a lot of people & then you would have the TT V6 Coupe 60 & the V8 Camaro

Holden Commodore could be built in US

The Holden Commodore’s long-term export hopes to North America may have been dealt a blow – before the revival has even begun.

US website Car and Driver has made the sensational claim that production of the Commodore sedan, wagon and ute – and the Caprice limousine and police car – will shift to North America from 2015.

The website says localised versions of the cars will migrate to a new platform and “full production will shift to North America”.

However, this is at odds with recent reports that Holden is trying to revive a Commodore export program to North America as early as next year.

It would be highly unusual for Holden or any manufacturer to invest in an export program to last only two years.

Holden spokeswoman Emily Perry told Drive: “Stories like these are hugely speculative and try and piece together snippets of information and whispers about possible future global plans.

“We’re not going to add fuel to the fire, we haven't announced details about our own future models for the Australian market, so we're not in a position to confirm, deny or announce details about other markets either.”

Drive understands Holden’s export of the Commodore will go ahead as planned from next year – although the manufacturer is yet to confirm this – and the model will likely run for four to five years.

But who will build the Commodore from 2018 – when the all-new generation car is due – remains unclear.

The 2018 Commodore/Chevrolet SS could indeed be built in North America – and depending on currency and other factors the vehicle may be imported into Australia.

This would free Holden to build another, more popular model on its local assembly line. In April the Commodore posted its second-lowest monthly sales result on record.

Holden currently builds the Cruze sedan and hatch, as well as the full range of Commodore and Caprice vehicles.

But given the dramatic decline in large-car sales, Holden is likely considering what else it could build at its Adelaide factory.

Small cars and compact softroaders are the two biggest segments of the Australian market: could Holden build a future generation Captiva locally?

Holden recently received a new round of taxpayer assistance – $275 million from state and federal governments – to continue manufacturing until 2022. But it did not specify which vehicles it would build.
