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.
