The Chevy SS is more of a successor to the Pontiac G8. It is a large RWD sedan manufactured by GM Holden in Australia and based on the Holden Commodore. They all have LS3 V8 and a 6-speed manual transmission is optional. GM has also thrown in Brembo brakes and the excellent magnetic ride control suspension.
Like the G8 and GTO that came before it (also Holden derived), they are somewhat understated in design and could be considered modern sleepers.
They never were intended to be big sellers here in the US and the run was always finite as Holden's manufacturing was already slated to end.
