Doug thank you for calling out that GM reverse light BS. I can't believe that's legal.
This needs to be in every video now.
Well if no one outside of enthusiasts know what the car is and you refuse to run ads for it, can GM be shocked when it doesn't sell?
In Holdens, the engine cover says V8 as well
Fun Fact: There was an option to purchase this car with a Holden appearance package for us Americans and for the Aussies they had the option of a Chevrolet Appearance Package in their Holden
I want one.
First 10/10 value, ladies and gentlemen: Do you agree?
I feel like if GM just marketed this as the Holden Commodore in the US people would be lining up to buy it. Or even Chevy Commodore. Just make it stand out, at least in name if not in styling.
There's also the fact that never heard of this car when it was "relevant", not that I'm in a market for one (literally, they don't sell it in Europe), but most auto outlets I visit are US based and this car did not arrive with a bang or even go with one. One day I read an article "The SS is going away, last chance to get one" and I had to google the car. It just appeared, sold like garbage, and went away. It's almost like GM had to prove to shareholders that performance sedans won't sell for whatever reason so they sabotaged it from the start.
Car enthusiasts: love sleepers
Also car enthusiasts: hate the SS because it doesn't look sporty enough
