The Chevrolet SS is Officially Dead
Holden has exported the final SS sedan to the U.S.
The automaker confirmed the news to Motoring, and Holden is now officially winding down production in Adelaide as it gets ready to shutter the doors in October. The final Chevrolet SS sedan to roll off the assembly line was finished in black and featured a six-speed manual transmission. To make it a bit special, the customer who purchased the car requested that Holden manufacturing employees sign the engine bay and they happily agreed, putting their signatures under the hood and on the deck lid carpets.

Its a real shame, and I am fortunate to own an SS. Its an awesome car, and most likely the last of its kind for real.
Is a shame that who ever design the Chevy Impala model does not know it looks like a dress up Camry, also the Chrysler 300 is a better looking car, compare to the impala, from past history the impala was the king of the road back them not now.
