Aggressive styling or not, the SS is way better to drive than a Charger, has a much nicer interior, and will be way more reliable in the long run. Nobody is buying the SS because Chevy doesn't really promote or advertise it. It appeals to 1% of the market, a driver's car, and not the 99% of people who float along in barges, considering cars simply another appliance they fail to maintain. That, and a lot of buyers are leery of the asking price. But it really is one of the best sport sedans out there, IMO. You don't have to agree. You're biased because you drive a Mopar, and no argument will convince you otherwise, so why bother? They're both great cars.

That makes sense. When I was test driving one of these, and after the car told me to put it in reverse it just kept backing up. It never turned into any spot. My sales person made the comment that that has never happened before. I have owned my 2015 for just over a year and a half and have yet to use this feature lol

Sadly Holden is leaving Australia, the last model of commodore to come out of Australia is the HSV GTSR W1 with the 6.2L supercharge LS9 engine pushing around 474KW. My favourite car that they came out with was the VL Commodore (1986) with its RB30 engine and the choice for turbo.

Just to put this out there, I found the auto park only works when there are cars to park in between. Open parking lots/parallel spots? It practically tells me to do it myself. Also, they are not making a LT1 version. Production has already finished and the last SS is on a boat somewhere in the Pacific. LS3 is all we're getting. Let me know if you want to try the 6 speed manual some time! I have the '17 facelift and I'm in Roswell.

Newer, nicer interior, and the LS3. I have the G8 GT with the L76 and I just wish I had the extra liters and an actual LS engine out of the gate, not the DoD L76. I also do prefer the extra sleeper looks of the SS. The G8 does looks mean, but it's kinda a moot point to me. The only people that will appreciate the aggressiveness of the G8 are the same people that are going to notice an SS in traffic. So I'd rather have the newer, comfier, faster in it's stock form SS than the G8. Especially since I bought my G8 in Montana and took it back to Nevada, there was a lot of surface rust, and worn out bushings that I had to deal with. I love my G8 though, no doubt about it. Even when she gets finicky.

As a SS owner I appreciate the review. A few things tho. 1). The self parking system relies on spatial recognition so objects like cars parked will help the sensors better than just painted lines. The car will always recognize a parallel parking spot and park itself given that it's between two cars. 2). The HUD also has a G meter and shifting lights when put into "S" mode and on the M6 cars. 3). The removal of all the chrome (window trim and door handles) ALONG with the Holden conversion is around $2000 4). I have a A6, the Auto only really snaps shifts if you put your foot into it and get up to 6k before shifting. Shifting under redline is "uninspiring" 5). There is no version with a LT motor. The last one that was made was a 2017 black with a LS3 and a manual.

Really is a hell of a car. I have an 09 G8 GT. I love it and Id love an SS one day. A simple badge swap changes the whole attitude of the car. They didnt intend on selling a 100k+ units a year. Their Target sales goal was 2500-3000 units a year and they sold right in those numbers. These cars are basically a Holden Commodore SSV redline model, pretty much fully loaded and the only options being manual/auto, sunroof, paint, wheels. Fun fact, there have been more Chevy SS sold than Dodge Charger Scatpaks/SRT8 models each year it has been on the market. These cars definitely fall into the "its not whats on the outside, but much more about whats on the inside" saying. These cars are impressive to say the least!

The thing about this is, it has a REAL LS in it. The G8 GT didn't have a real LS in it... Only the GXP. And the GXP was a rare option (the GXP models still selling for 25k+) with only 1829 made. The GXP was also the only one to get a manual trans. The SS is better in every way (to me) but it's just a REALLY expensive sleeper. If you were a family man with the need for a reliable car that you also wanted to have fun with, this is a no brainer...

The only similarity is they way they look and their size.

that system probably uses radar sensors to find spots.

The park assist looks for a "blank" space that usually next to a car or between two cars. I want to say it detects a blank space, then a car, and is able to estimate where to park. If it's just an empty lot, it's hard for the sensors to know where the spot exactly is without car(s) there.

Nice review! The parking feature works silly good for parallel parking and would likely work better if you were parking between two cars in the parking lot. I usually park in the boonies so I haven't tried parking it into a space. Track mode is similar to Perf (haha) mode but lets you hang the tail out a bit more. With Perf and Track, you should've felt a difference in the gas pedal too. Going from Tour to Track is a very noticeable difference in suspension stiffness. The genuine Holden badges are just $250 front and rear but another $550 if you want to swap the airbag. The $2000 you mentioned might have included the exterior black out bits too (front pieces, side vents, and window trim). I would love to see what you think of the manual version. I'm sure someone in your neck of the woods would let you review one!

Chevy decided not to sell the SS in Canada. And I love it. It's my favourite GM vehicle right now. And I want it. But I have to settle for a G8 with a V8 to get close to this.

jeff grabowski I don't even wanna mod it. It was an LS derived engine. Would be a massive step up from my Cruze, lol. Probably tons more fun. Sadly, even the V6 cars go for over 12k up here

Ben Kuyt haha. For a commuter daily driver car cruzes aren't bad at all. I don't have the self control or discipline to not mod my cars. Lol I have a heads cam c6 vette and bought a cts coupe as a daily driver a few yrs back and had to do intake and tune on the cts v6.😀 eventually dumped the cts for a scat pack challenger.

Ben Kuyt I'm a credit analyst/loan underwriter the past several years. I also was injured in an industrial accident as a teen so I'm also a paraplegic. The vette I bought used, as are most of the cars I've purchased in my life. I hate depreciation so I let the previous owners take that big hit. 😀 the scat pack was one of 3 cars in 34 years of driving that I bought new.

I believe the parking feature works best in a parking lot with cars. I've tested these before and while theyre not great, it will quickly find a spot in a lot with more cars. The reason for this is that it senses for an empty space.

The auto-parking isn't looking for lines. It's using the proximity sensors to look for a gap in cars. If there are not cars your passing, it'll never tell you to park. Ultimately it's kinda a silly feature but it does work when you know it's limitations.
