LosAngelesLGT Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 But the AMG's are fast... I'll keep an eye out for the CLA also. AMG are only fast in a straight line when they are already rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Check out the price of ATS RWD V6 Premium with magnetic dampers and decent options. I doubt it would be less than that. I hope I'm wrong though. It's a caddi, they always have a premium over chevy but in this case the ATS does not have a 420hp v8 and that makes it hard to compare. I would hope they would bring the base v8 model in at just under 40k but we will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The SS road car is going to be revealed at the Daytona 500. IC, well they probably won't talk about price as 80% of the people there won't be able to afford it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't have very high expectations for this one. Probably end up being lame with an out of date exterior and interior, and miles of cheap plastic trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well, if you like the VF Commodore pics, the SS won't be too different. The new "GTO" was essentially just a carry over from Australia, as was the G8. I'd expect some minor front end styling changes and a LHD conversion, but that's about it.

Raptors are selling very well right now. I can't really say as to what the demographics are, but one could imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think the interior looks pretty nice. Better than a toyota tundra anyway. The exterior isn't that great but we will have to see what the US version looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exterior isn't that great but we will have to see what the US version looks like. It's important to note, the Commodore has a wide range of trim levels in Australia. It has everything from base V6 models up to V8 sport models to luxury models. There's a pretty good variety of exterior styling options between them all. For all we know, and I kind of suspect it, the blue car is a luxury model. Edit: The Blue car IS the luxury model as indicated by the front tag. "Calais" denotes the luxury models.

Well the materials quality doesn't look that great, and having a better looking interior than a 6 year old design on a pickup truck offered in several trim levels is nothing to brag about.

An interior which toyota still uses and therefore can be compare when comparing new to new vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Now THIS is more like it. SSV has historically denoted Holden's top performing models, just like STi, AMG, SVT etc. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2013/02/holden-unwraps-new-commodore-ss-v.html http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hlCx-LBg6QY/URzy7MXXt7I/AAAAAAALrd8/mRQV9bMKFd8/s1600/2014-Holden-Commodore-SSV-3%25255B2%25255D.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ytGj33Gf9AE/URzy5_vAjXI/AAAAAAALrds/gU46K2M50fs/s1600/2014-Holden-Commodore-SSV-2%25255B2%25255D.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/-GU-1MUAp3hY/URzzKziFoFI/AAAAAAALrgs/JLUJkbCyd0c/s1600/2014-Holden-Commodore-SSV-14%25255B2%25255D.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Beautiful car. Please, please, please price it close to a Charger R/T(Probably won't happen). Are people that drive Subaru's really picking apart interiors of other cars? Btw, the interior looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyOldManMN Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Are people that drive Subaru's really picking apart interiors of other cars? Btw, the interior looks great. Yes indeed. We are acutely aware of just how much we're lacking... I would luvs me a Commodore SSV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Black interior looks loads better. Still hate the front end. If they put thr new LT1 in it though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Beautiful car. Please, please, please price it close to a Charger R/T(Probably won't happen). If they brought over the full trim lines there would be a car similar in price to the R/T, but unfortunately right now we're just getting one limited production model. Although, they've said depending on the public's reaction and how this sells, the next generation SS will be completely redesigned and built in America. Welp, I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

wera832 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Think the Infinity G series would be worth a test drive , they are actually a pretty nice car - Id also suggest an IS350 Lexus , its a very fun car and should be right there at your price.
