2015 SS

CG Says: The Chevrolet SS is a large, high-performance four-door sedan that comes exclusively with a muscular 415-horsepower V-8 and rear-wheel drive. For 2015, it is upgraded with standard Magnetic Ride Control suspension, Brembo-brand rear brakes in addition to Brembo front brakes, and an available 6-speed manual transmission. Also new are some flashy paint colors, and the addition of 4G LTE Internet connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot to the OnStar communications system. Mainstream Chevrolet large-car shoppers will choose the front-wheel-drive Impala, but for high-performance enthusiasts who need large-car space, the SS is an intriguing option. Chevrolet offers the SS only in a single high-end trim level with a long list of standard equipment, so the base price is more than $45K. That will restrict sales to a small group of enthusiast buyers.
