Technology blogge r Christopher Price has found out that two all-new 2014 models from GM are coming, thanks to doing some digging around OnStar’s website.

Price found out that 2014 will bring about a Cadillac ELR, the long rumored Cadillac version of the Chevrolet Volt. Chevrolet will also apparently get a car dubbed the “SS Performance”, supposedly the new sports sedan based on the Holden Commodore. The new RWD Zeta sedan should be a wonderful car, but surely GM could have come up with a better name than “SS Performance”. Wouldn’t “Caprice” suffice?

    I saw a LHD Holden Caprice badged as a Chevrolet Caprice Impala SS at Holden's Adelaide plant the other day- could it be this car? It looked like a standard spec Caprice, maybe with hi-po underpinnings?

    I'm sure it won't be called SS performance as that is as lame as they come for names. ELR is bad enough. Whats next the LSD?

  • Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
