Default Chevrolet SS

Well, I have grown bored with my 2014 Impala LTZ company car....
I've been hunting an SS and found one over the weekend, 2017 with 6,500 miles on it, and I jumped!
If you're needing a nice, FAST, roomy sedan, go find one of these. They went out of production in mid 2017, so you MIGHT luck out and find a new one laying around somewhere, or get lucky and find a low miles used one.
What a car!!!! LS3, magnetic ride control, Brembo brakes all around, just an amazing car.

If you look through this section you will find more to read about this magnificent car.

I had the Pontiac version of this car G8 GT. It was a blast to drive and very well built. It’s a shame Holden shut down and no more will be produced. Enjoy the last of a dying breed.

Thanks.
The car is a secret, no doubt. As we get more and more CUV/SUV's, the V8 rear drive sedan is dying rapidly.

Have one myself and love the car! 2017 that I picked up 12/2/17. Already have 4K miles on it and the car is a blast to drive. Traded a 14 S6 Audi for it and am having more fun driving this. Put the exhaust on performance and the LS3 sounds beautiful!! Enjoy it!!

I have owned both a 2009 G8 and a 2005 GTO. Really wanted to get an SS but wasn't up for the task again of finding one in the US and bringing it back to Canada. Ended up getting a 2014 Buick Regal GS for now

That's exactly why so many of us love it.

Thanks to all.
This car is funny...I get as many comments about it as I do about my Corvette.

Isn't that the truth. The question I like the most is when they ask.....SS what?

Congrats! Awesome color, I may be biased though...




I picked my 2017 up back in November and I can't say enough about the car, loved my previous G8 GT and enjoy the SS even more. They nailed the exhaust IMO.
