Chevrolet News:Return of RWD - Chevrolet Announces SS For 2013


Recommended Posts

The G8 was based on the '06 era VE series Commodore, I've read that the '14 will be have an MCE (VF) so I'm assuming the interior will be refreshed..

Here's an article on the VF, sounds like lots of updates are expected...

Given that this will be a 2013 introduction, it may be just in time to receive the direct injected Gen V Pushrod V8. That'll be interesting for folks who want more than a 2-seat Corvette and don't want to pay the premium for an ATS-V or CTS-V.

That is why this car is so delayed as it is waiting for the DI V8. GM could have already had the car here if they did not want to wait for the VF upgrade of the coming V8. Once we see the DI in the Vetter the gates will be open and the engine will be here in many applications soon after.

If a V6 is offered in this car in NA GM can allways call it the 'SV6'... Australian naming minus the word 'Commodore' :AH-HA:

SV6 just like the Pontiac Montana. That will create EXCITEMENT!!!

LOL I forgot about that one :D

Don't forget, the V8Supercars will be racing at the "Circuit of The Americas" in Austin,Texas in 2013. Do you think Chevrolet will use the event as part of their pre-release advertising?

I know they won't do it but it would be cool to see them put Chevy badged on the cars at the race in TX. It would make it a Ford vs Chevy battle here and even the folks down under would not be offended. God knows we ship enough Chevy items there daily at work. You would be suprised how many Camaro's they have there.

They have done it for earlier events, so why not do it for the race in Texas

Chevy logos for the race in Bahrain ... (just ignore the PhotoShop oops where they forgot to take care of the reflection of the Holden badge on the front bumper)
