With the Holden Commodore saying goodbye in 2017, it was assumed that the Chevrolet SS would follow suit. But some recent comments last week are making us rethink that. During a discussion at the New York Auto Show, Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer for the Camaro and SS hinted that all was not lost for the SS. “It sells what it’s supposed to. And we haven’t announced an end date to it, so we’re just … we know that there are some decisions made on the Zeta [platform], that are imminent, and right now we’re just focused on the new ’17 model, which is great. It has the LS3 with the manual and the active exhausts, and it’s a great car,” said Oppenheiser. The lack of end date is very curious as we know the Commodore will be finished in 2017, leaving the SS in a tough spot. Australian outlet CarAdvice asked if another sedan could serve as a replacement for the SS and Oppenheiser said maybe. But Oppenheiser was quick to point out this might not happen. “I’m not answering the questions, so I’m not leaving you with any hope.” But Al, you did leave some hope for those who want the SS to stick around. Whether or not anything happens, we'll be watching closely. Source: CarAdvice Pic Credit: William Maley for Cheers & Gears View full article
