Future of The Chevrolet SS: Will it live beyond VF Commodore 2016 cut-off date?
Holden confirmed plans to develop a next generation Commodore sedan, ending production of the current VF Commodore aka Chevy SS by 2016. If Chevrolet decides to follow Holden, we could end up seeing a production run of the U.S. model Chevrolet SS of just 2 years!
Here's what Mike Devereux (Holden Boss) had to say about the VF Commodore successor when interviewed early 2013:
If we end up seeing a long term Chevrolet SS production run, what improvements (features, options, packages, higher performance trim) do you think we can expect to see?

“A lot of folks have been speculating about whether this is the last Commodore ... I can categorically tell you we have already begun working on the Commodore that comes after this one (VF Commodore)"
"People love this nameplate. We're going to have another one of these"
"General Motors has started working on it, the team here is obviously involved in that as they are working on all sorts of different things and I will say no more of it."
"We will launch another Commodore after this one"
"This thing will run through end of '16, after that time we're going to be putting two architectures into the plant ... one of them will underpin the Commodore that replaces the VF"
How possible is it that we'll see a long term Chevrolet SS outliving the VF Commodore?"It's a huge year for Holden - we're back"
