The V8-Powered 2014 Chevrolet SS Will Cost $44,470

http://jalopnik.com/the-v8-powered-2...-470-511229307



GM announced today that MSRP on the 2014 Chevy SS will be $44,470. For all that, you get a re-badged Holden Commodore SS V with a 6.2-liter, 415-horsepower LS3 V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission with paddles. Stick shift enthusiasts need not apply, thanks.

HAHAHA ...exactly!

Good job GM! You bring out a boring-looking, lower-powered but similarly-priced car to a 470-horse Charger SRT8 and you expect it will sell ?

Good luck with that.

I bought one for a lot less than that and it looks a lot better.

I think it looks fine, if not quite as good as the late G8 with which it shares the same basic excellent stance and proportions. The hot rod Vauxhall version pictured is a bit overwrought for my tastes. That all said, I think $44K is a bit steep, should be priced a few $K under 40 really.

I like it and it ain't a Chrysler so thumbs up on what the car is. $44k I think it's not. $35ish would be a good car for the money. Guess ill wait a few years for the used one.

In Chevy's defense, the SS is fully loaded with the exception of the optional $900 sunroof.

I believe Chevy was just building a small number to meet nascar requirements, so its over priced due to the fact the think there are those few chevy fans that will fork out 44 grand for the car.
