2015 chevrolet ss order guide confirms manual transmission magnetic ride

Those who were waiting for the Chevrolet SS to have a manual transmission to go with its Australian power, they can now breathe: The order guide confirms the 2015 model will that, as well as the Magnetic Ride suspension.

Jalopnik reports one of their commentariat had looked through General Motors’ online Fleet Order guide when they came upon the revelations. In addition, more of the commentariat pointed out a number of new colors 2015 SS owners could drool over, including Regal Peacock Green and Alchemy Purple; Dodge and SRT may have to dust off a few oldies to keep up.

Too bad this drivetrain is not in the new Impala...IMHO THAT would hearken back to the "SS was not so different" days. Oh yes, and in a perfect world, I could have this set up in a TWO DOOR body style!! :-)

It is a shame that the Commodore got a pumped up & out Malibu styling makeover. That would be a result of head office dictating that (1) the car has to appeal to a different (universal, non offensive) set of tastes to suit it's new market, (2) not a great deal of money to redesign anyway, (3) why spend money on a dead end product anyway. Unfortunately even in its home market it looks like a big Malibu, not a home grown car. So when they made the decision to sell the Malibu along side the Commodore and make the Commodore look like a Malibu. Well the sales of each vehicle make the point. The Australian sense of what is stylish and tasteful is definitely differently to American taste and sense of style. Australians prefer the sleeper look rather than the "look at me" brigade.

  I must have an Australian sense of style - to the extent Australians have a sense of style - which, from my observation, consists of conspicuously pretending they don't. Anyway, give me a roomy plain-wrap sedan that has guts and handles predictably and I am happy. I used to have a 1996 Buick Regal with a sweet V-6. Sure, it was a sled. Not bragging about it. But it was cheap and it was pretty fast and the handling was not floaty. The engine was smooth and powerful and reliable as hell. I had a blast with it and drove it hard every day for 165k until my @#$%! niece totaled it. Pretty much invisible to cops. Don't want attention from anyone. Big trunk. 3 adult passengers no problem. Decent mileage. Cheap to run. Yeah, I wish there was a bigger market for hot plain wrap "domestic" sedans. I don't care for the Euro mobiles. The SS is at the top of the auto lust list for me, and I would love the Aussie one and not whatever they come up with after they shut that plant down.

MaintenanceCosts Other sources seem to think that the "electric Highlander" will be built on TNGA and that the other 3-row will be on an all-new EV-specific platform. In that case, why bother building the first one at all?
THX1136 Two thoughts as I read through the article. 1) I really like the fins on this compared to the others. For me this is a jet while the others were propeller driven craft in appearance.2) The mention of the wider whitewalls brought to mind a vague memory. After the wider version fell out of favor I seem to remember that one could buy add-on wide whitewalls only that fit on top of the tire so the older look could be maintained. I remember they would look relatively okay until the add-on would start to ripple and bow out indicating their exact nature. Thanks for the write up, Corey. Looking forward to what's next.
Analoggrotto It's bad enough we have to read your endless Hyundai Kia Genesis shilling, we don't want to hear actually it too. We spend good money on speakers, headphones and amplifiers!

Pig_Iron This message is for Matthew Guy. I just want to say thank you for the photo article titled Tailgate Party: Ford Talks Truck Innovations. It was really interesting. I did not see on the home page and almost would have missed it. I think it should be posted like Corey's Cadillac series. 🙂
